Despite supply from three grids, unscheduled power cuts in Pallahara have been an endemic problem. At times, the town remains dark for days together.
It is alleged that the supply line and equipment have gone old without regular repair causing interruptions in power supply to the town.
Four days ago, the electricity supply was stopped for two days and with the pressure of local public as well as the local MLA, it was restored. MLA Mukesh Kumar Pal has threatened to launch a hunger strike if the situation does not improve soonest.
