Shravasti news: The humidity and heat are at its peak during the Sawan season, but the electrical system of the district is completely extreme. In areas where electricity supply is restored, consumers are getting only one to two hours of electricity in a day. The officials of Power Corporation are not able to tell anything clear about when this system will be normal.
Explain that to keep the power supply healthy, continuous work is done on fixing dilapidated and loose wires and improving the condition of pillars. In lieu of this, a huge budget is also spent, but the situation in Shravasti district deteriorates only when the power department sleeps. Last night, hundreds of villages in Giloula, Bhangha and Sirsia areas lost electricity. After the rains started, the supply of the entire district including Bhinaga and Ekona Nagar, Gilloula came to a standstill. After repeated demands of the people and the entire day’s efforts, supply was restored in some areas, but there was electricity in many areas. Due to lack of electricity in government offices including Collectorate, District Hospital, work is being run with the help of generators.
The Executive Engineer said that due to continuous rains, there has been a malfunction in some places. The panel of many areas has been blown and transformers are also burnt in some places. He assured that efforts are being made to restore the fault and restore the supply soon.
Due to lack of power supply, people are facing many problems, such as difficulty in charging mobile and blockage in business. Power cuts continue in many areas, causing problems not only to the common people, but also traders and students. In the summer season, the highest number of children are having trouble sleeping and some children are also getting sick. In addition, the power system is deteriorating due to excessive load on the line. People also say that there is frequent power cuts at night. Consumers have also complained through public hearing portal and other means, but no concrete action has been taken so far.
Consumers have demanded to install 10 MB transformers and reduce additional loads. He suggests that the connection of minimum villages should be kept on the line. Recently, along with DM Ajay Kumar Dwivedi, the MP and MLA also shouted the officials in the meeting of the Electricity Department, but there is no effect on him. Even the power houses do not pick up toll free numbers, and if they pick up, they do not give the correct information, which further increases the problems of the people.
