Residents of suburban Moshi blame discom for power cuts; officials point to shortages of funds, staff

Frequent power cuts have become part and parcel of the lives of the residents of Indrayaninagar and other areas along Spine Road of Moshi Pradhikaran. Residents and local representatives lay the blame at the doorstep of the power supply company which they say have refused to fix the long-standing problems in these areas.

Manoj Singh, a resident of Sector 10, said that power supply was being disrupted for 2-3 hours on alternate days. “Every Thursday we have the scheduled load-shedding, which is understandable. What we fail to understand is the unscheduled power cuts on weekdays,” he said. Singh said the residents had tried contacting the helpline numbers over the outages but failed to get any response.
