Mayabunder, Jan 08: Even after 24 hours, the District Administration of North and Middle Andaman has made virtually no effort to understand or solve the ‘supernatural power’ incident of Mayabunder with logic.
Villagers of Mayabunder had yesterday reported that altogether five people fell ill while digging soil at Danapur Village of Mayabunder Island on Monday morning because of ‘suspected’ supernatural powers.
According to information received here the incident occurred when nearly 40 to 50 people in four groups reached a vacant land of Danapur Village yesterday morning to execute MGNREGA works. The Danapur Village falls under Ram Pur Panchayat.
The villagers had also reported about a strange lady who was dragging two other ladies with so power that dozens of men were found it difficult to rescue those trapped ladies.
Experts have however, rubbished this story saying that probably the labourers have hit some gas pockets, which made them sick but regarding strange lady everybody is clueless.
“This is hard to believe what we have seen. How could a woman get so much energy and power to drag two other ladies by hair? We still can’t believe this,” said Mrs. Sultana Begum, supervisor of the MGNREGA work. Mrs. Sultana Begum was present on the spot and seen the entire incident herself.
“I know nobody will believe this story but this is true,” said Ms Naga Lakshmi, Gram Sevika or MGNREGA.
Police officials, who had visited the spot, are tight lipped.
“We can’t explain what we have seen. This is hard to believe and hence we will not comment. Even one of our lady staffs was scared badly. Scientifically this has no logic but still all eyewitnesses claim that they have seen this,” said a police officer who does not want his name to be quoted.
Meanwhile, sources said that a secret puja was carried by MGNREA workers at the said site this morning to ‘please evil souls’.
Andaman Sheekha has no intention of spreading rumours. As a responsible media organization Andaman Sheekha reporting facts from ground for the information of general public with all possible quotes of witnesses and government officials.
Rumours are spreading in this case like wildfire and this is now the duty of Administration to conduct an inquiry or investigation and bring out the truth infront of General Public.
“There has to be some scientific reasons behind this entire story. Things often appear bloodcurdling for various reasons, which villagers mistake as supernatural power,” said a Lecturer of Mahatma Gandhi Government College.
