Jagran correspondent, Sahibabad. Sir...there is no electricity in the colony for about 12 hours. Forget about getting uninterrupted electricity in summers, one has to face the brunt of indiscriminate power cuts even in winters. If we complain, it is claimed that the supply is normal within half an hour. Even after this the situation remains the same. This is what the people of Indraprastha Colony of Tila Mode say.
People of the colony told that at around four in the morning there was a loud noise. During this period the power supply came to a complete standstill. When people complained about this to the Sub-Divisional Officer, he said that the supply would be normal within 30 minutes. When the supply did not become normal even after about two hours, people complained again.
He again said that the supply will be normal soon. Electricity supply did not become normal even till around 4 pm. People complained to the SDO on WhatsApp group saying that whenever there is a festival, there are more power cuts during that time. People are busy preparing for the New Year and there is still no electricity. If this is the situation then how will we celebrate the New Year?
RWA has also complained to the headquarters
RWA President Satish Bhardwaj has also complained at the headquarters level regarding the electricity problem in Indraprastha Colony. Chief Engineer Naresh Bharti was instructed to provide relief from the problem. Even after this, the people here have still not got relief from the problem of power cuts.
Electricity failed for six hours, no water available
Electricity was cut in Defense Colony of Bhopura at 5:40 am. The supply did not become normal even for about six hours. Due to power cut in the morning, people here could not even get water. Due to this, people had to face problems without water throughout the day. Local resident Sonu has complained about this by tagging UPPCL and PVVNL.
In some areas, there was power cut due to fault and jumper blowing. Electricians are busy repairing the fault and bringing it back to normal. The supply will be normalized soon.
