Unscheduled power cuts of six to eight hours every day over the last two months are causing an array of problems, said residents, with students unable to attend online classes and working professionals facing difficulties in completing their tasks or attending meetings.
Residents alleged that the problem is further compounded by expensive power backup solutions, which cost them ₹17 per unit, more than double the cost of ₹8 per unit for the government supply. Residents have threatened to strike at the power distribution’s officer later this week if the issue remains unresolved.
Rajkumar Yadav, the president of Sector 46 RWA, said that they have complained to all officials concerned, including the chief engineer of the DHBVN, but to no avail.
