Power supply cut in Noida high-rise leaves residents in total blackout for days
At least 100 families living in a high-rise building in Uttar Pradesh’s Noida have had no electricty for the past four days. Power supply to the Hilston Urbtech Society in Noida’s Sector 79 was cut Tuesday and, since then, residents of the 18-floor building have been unable to use the elevators or perform even basic household chores.
“Otherwise a high-tech model city, our society has had no electricity for the past four days. Lifts not functional, we have to take the stairs several floors down and up. Children unable to study,” one resident told news agency ANI.
Until 2am Thursday, residents somehow managed with the society’s generator but they have yet to get any permanent solution. Frustrated, many have taken to Twitter to seek help.
