Bhubaneswar, Sep 14 :Laxmi Mondal of Banhipal village in Orissa’s Kendrapara district has never watched any of Shah Rukh Khan’s movies, as the village has been without electricity all these years. But for this poor village woman the Bollywood actor has turned into a real life hero by lighting up their lives. Shah Rukh has funded a solar power harnessing project which provides light to the village after sunset. “There is no electricity in our village and we don’t expect it to be provided by the government in the near future. So the electric lanterns have become very handy for us. Though we used kerosene lanterns earlier, they couldn’t be relied upon due to the brisk breeze throughout the day as our village is just a few kilometres away from the Bay of Bengal,” said Mondal.
