CHENNAI: With increasing temperatures and surging power demand, several localities in Chennai have been witnessing sporadic power cuts, voltage fluctuations, and short circuits, even during nights. Residents of Velachery, Medavakkam, Taramani, and nearby areas have complained of such disruptions, making their nights miserable.
K Subbaraman (70), a resident of Medavakkam, told TNIE, “We have been facing frequent power cuts for the past couple of weeks. There have been times when power went off once in 30 minutes during night. On Sunday, there was no power from 11 pm to 1 am. It was a sleepless night for most of the residents.”
