Power outages affect one and all

Frequent power cuts in rural and urban areas have been affecting the day-to-day life of everyone, especially children, elderly and the sick.

Ankita Mahajan, a resident, said, “Water supply timings are fixed. In case there’s a power cut during the specific period, it means that one has to cope with severe shortage of water.”

For working couples, things have become very difficult. “Most of the time, I prefer to finish all my work at night. But there’s no power supply even during the night,” said Ravneet Kaur, another resident.
