KENDRAPARA: Residents of Kendrapara continue to face hard times due to unscheduled power cuts. Officials managed to repair power lines and provided electricity two weeks after cyclone Fani, but the coastal town is now experiencing four to six hours of power cut daily as repair work had been carried out hastily. Similarly, frequent power cut in rural areas has made life of people miserable.
With summer season at its peak, the residents have started complaining. “We lived for two weeks without electricity after the cyclone. But now every day there is power cut for three to four hours in the evening. We are using lamps for our studies,” said Bikas Mohanty, a school student of Rajnagar.
