BENGALURU: From disruptions in online classes and work presentations to electrical appliances getting damaged — frequent power cuts and fluctuations have become pain points for Bengalureans.
Manoj Joshi, a resident of Shantinagar, south Bengaluru, says attending online classes under flickering lights or in complete darkness has become routine for his eight-year-old son. “Just a drizzle is enough to disconnect power for an entire day. These days even if it is slightly cloudy, I get worried,” he adds.
Like Joshi, many parents are hassled by frequent power snags. With many schools yet to resume offline classes, they are forced to juggle work-from-home meetings, domestic duties and interruptions in children’s online classes.
