Summary:
During the day long power cuts, we have to hire a generator by spending at least ?3,000. The work is nearing completion and after a month there will not be long hours of power cuts,” said the official. Nerve-centre of power supply: Whenever maintenance work is taken up on 230 kV EHT line that is fed through the Marappalam substation, the power supply gets disrupted. The elderly people residing in flats find it difficult to move out as lifts remain non-operational during power cuts,” she said. Again on Thursday, power supply was restricted because of maintenance work causing hardship to residents..
