Lokmat News Network
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The residents of Bari Colony, Rahimnagar, Kiradpura and Sharif Colony areas got relief from darkness, mosquitoes and suffocation with electricity restoration after 19.40 hours.
It may be noted a DP was burnt in ward no 42- Kiradpura-Ram Mandir, on Monday night. Traders from the Kiradpura area had to face inconvenience due to the lack of electricity while milk, ice cream and other businessmen had to face losses.
The citizens question power failure in the city despite outsourcing the works through different agencies.
They said, “Preference is given to disconnect power if a bill is not paid. The electricity company officers do not even guarantee that it will be restored within time. Citizens are informed by giving a message that the power supply will be restored within half an hour.”
The officers are ignoring the same situation happening continuously in Nakshetrawadi, Itkheda, Sudhakarnagar, WALMI locality, Cantonment, area in front of Collectorate, Harsul, Ramnagar, Mukundwadi, Naregaon, Chikalthana Garkheda and Cidco-Hudco.
