BENGALURU: Power cuts are back to haunt Bengalureans. If you thought that excess power demand could be the reason, with many in the city working from home due to the lockdown, it’s the thundershowers and strong winds over the last few days that are to blame. Soon after the downpour on Monday, the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) office started receiving complaints from many parts of Bengaluru, such as HSR Layout, Koramanagala, HAL, R T Nagar, Banaswadi and other areas.
“I’m working from home and need to clock in a certain number of hours. With regular power cuts, I am unable to work. I have complained to BESCOM, but it’s been of no use as all they say is that they’re attending to the issue. When the city is under lockdown, proper facilities should be ensured,” said Subhash R, a resident of Murgeshpalya.
