Power supply in many parts of the state capital was erratic from 8am to4pm on Tuesday due to replacement of equipment in unit No.1 of the Hatia grid.
The affected areas were Radium Road, Kutchery, Deputy Para, Deendayal Nagar, DC’s office, Morabadi, Club Road, Sujata Chowk, Pey Pey Compound, Main Road, Line Tank Road, Jail Mor, Hazam, Brambey, Ratu, Kanke, Harmu and Argora.
Residents from a number of localities said they did not have power for more than four hours of the eight-hour period of repairs.
“The power was going after an interval of one hour and it was a major hassle,” said Manju Dei, a homemaker from Harmu. “During the afternoon I use the washing machine but I had problems today as I had to wait for the power that kept going off.”
