riots in Umred due to a poor electricity supply. http://iht.com/articles/2007/05/04/news/india.php
But even as big-city dreams flow to Umred, there is not enough electricity for those dreams to come true. [...] Last year, the town held its first-ever Mister and Miss Umred contests. Sixty-eight people competed, and while Umred's resources were limited, it strove to follow global practices. "We gave them a crown," said Misal, the English teacher, who helped organize the show. "It was plastic, but it was good."
