Balewadi-Baner residents face frequent power cuts, MSEDCL blames smart city project

Residents of Balewadi and Baner have been facing constant power failures of more than eight hours for the past week. The power cuts have directly affected professionals with work from home duties, and students having online classes.

According to the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), the power cuts are a result of damaged lines during road digging.

A number of complaints were registered at the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), however, there has been no reprieve from power cuts.

“This has become a recurring theme for people who are living in Balewadi and it has become a bane of our life to find ourselves in darkness four to five times in a week,” said Vijay Varasgaonkar,
