Frequent power cuts add to summer woes in Noida

Noida Frequent unscheduled power outages have added to the woes of Noida residents already suffering due to high temperatures. Children, too, have been facing a lot of problems while attending online classes during the daytime, parents complain.

Suresh Chauhan, a resident of Sector 49, says there have been frequent power cuts in the area for the past three months. “Just like old times, when the Uttar Pradesh electricity board (UPSEB) was in charge, we are not keeping anything inside our refrigerators as it is of no use. We don’t have electricity for hours every day. There are no power backups at the builders’ flats in our residential complex, so we go through a lot of trouble… We also suffer from skin diseases due to heavy sweating.”
