‘Power cuts playing havoc with people’
Power cuts are playing havoc with lives of ordinary citizens.
“Yesterday, there was a power cut from 2 am to 6 am in our area. While the official power cut is from 2.30 pm to 6 pm, from 8.30 am to 12 noon, there was no power as well. Let there be power cut, but not unscheduled power cuts at such odd timings. My work was paralysed due to the unscheduled power cuts,” Ashok Ram Kumar, a lawyer who specialises in intellectual property rights and resides on Road No 10, Jubilee Hills, told ‘TOI’ While another resident of Jubilee Hills, Salil Ganeriwal, said power cuts were not specific. “We do not know when their is a power cut,” Ganeriwal added.
M Praveen Kumar of Secunderabad said there was load shedding in his area from morning till 6 pm in the evening. “Though we are bearing with the three-and-a half-hour power cut, why are we forced to bear double the time. The authorities have messed up with the power situation. We would have been in a safe situation if the government had planned things in advance,” he said.
The unscheduled power cuts in the night has enraged the residents. “Though there is a power cut in the morning during the scheduled hours, in the middle of the night, again, we are suffering half an hour power cuts on a regular basis,” Akhila Reddy, a resident of Masab Tank, said.
Most areas in the twin cities, eve n those considered as high-paying by the Central Power Distribution Company Limited (CPDCL) are facing unscheduled power cuts on a regular basis.
