Erratic power supply is competing with the rising mercury level to torment residents of the capital city.
Some said the poor power supply was tarnishing the image of the ruling party that had promised zero power cut in the capital.
“One cannot depend on power supplied by Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL). For the last four days, our locality is getting electricity for hardly an hour. We can’t cool ourselves under the fan. Even if we open our windows, swarms of mosquitoes enter the room,” Kapil Ram, a resident of Krishnapuri in Chutia, said.
