HYDERABAD: With several areas in the city experiencing complete power outage on consecutive days of Tuesday and Wednesday, all 25 disaster teams under the Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) were deployed to address the issues. However, it wasn’t until Thursday that many had their power connections restored. The situation begs the question: “Is the body equipped to handle the sea of complaints that come in with every heavy downpour?”
Residents claim that despite voicing their angst on Twitter and helpline numbers, there was no resolution offered. This was primarily because the magnitude of complaints the body received was nowhere close to the number of technicians it had. In the past two days, at least 4,000-5,000 complaints came in for TSSPDCL. However, officials claim that no major outage was reported.
