Consumers flay JBVNL for power cuts, tariff hike

Om Prakash, 35, an ice cream factory owner in Chanho block has to give away half of his monthly earnings in maintaining power generators. The situation of electricity supply is purportedly in such a shambles in Chanho that Prakash’s factory has to run on generators 24×7 many a times.

Similarly, Divya Kumari, 19, a student of the Cambridge Institute of Technology in Tatisilwai has to study under candlelight since her hostel gets power supply only for a few hours in a day. And once this techie’s laptop is out of juice, she has no alternative to learn programming.
