The district’s everyday life is being negatively impacted by frequent power outages and protracted scheduled shutdowns, which are making residents more and more irate. For students getting ready for exams, the situation has grown very difficult. It was announced that there would be a four-hour shutdown starting at 6 am. But according to reports, the power supply didn’t start up again until 11:20 am, which caused the outage to last longer than anticipated in a few places. Such prolonged disruptions, frequently without clear information, have become routine, according to several residents.
The most severely impacted are students taking current and impending exams. Many parents were worried that frequent outages were interfering with their children’s study plans, particularly in homes where electricity is used for charging necessary equipment, illumination, and online study resources. Claims of exorbitant electricity costs are contributing to the public’s discontent. Several customers complained that even though they experienced frequent disruptions, they were being charged excessively. When the supply was still erratic, some people questioned why they should be forced to pay expensive bills.
A few customers also said that in order to address billing inconsistencies, they had to rush from office to office. The concerned authorities have been encouraged by the residents to provide a more dependable electricity supply and to immediately resolve billing complaints. In order to reduce annoyance and help people prepare ahead of time, they have also urged for improved communication of scheduled shutdowns.
