Almost 14 hours of power outage in various parts of Kharghar sent the daily routine of residents completely haywire. Electric supply to Sectors 35 E, I, F and D, Sectors 7, 37 and 15 was disrupted from 1am on Wednesday causing residents to lose their sleep. Power supply was finally restored by 3.45pm.
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) informed that the power failure was due to a short circuit on two 11KV feeder lines.
MSEDCL was accused of neither giving a prior intimation for the extended duration of power outage nor having a medium to provide appropriate response to the residents.
