Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau.

This describes a 20% decrease from the 11.1 million unmarried men in the same age spectrum in certain areas which are called prefectures, the difference comes to 30%. 

A prefecture is an administrative jurisdiction traditionally governed by an appointed prefect. This can be regional or local. Japan has as many as 47 prefectures. 

Due to the recent trend of more women than men in the greater Tokyo area and their proclivity to bypass rural areas after freely emigrating for work or study, there are more single women than single males in the countryside. This is definitely a disposition of the Japanese.
