Even as mercury levels continue to rise, transformer blasts, voltage problems and frequent tripping are ongoing disruptions to power supply in the city, with the discom facing flak from residents for failing to improve the situation. The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), however, maintains that the city has adequate power to meet the summer demand.
On Wednesday, nearly 250 houses in Block C of Sushant Lok 1 had to spend 17 hours — from 12.30am to 5.15pm — without electricity after a blast in the 625KVA transformer in the area. Residents said they spoke to DHBVN officials, but claimed they did not get a positive response. Around 300 houses in the same block spent 12 hours without power on April 19 this year, after a blast in a 400kv transformer.
