People Suffer Due To Frequent Power Cuts
Thousands of Patanaites witnessed unprecedented power crisis on Tuesday. During the last 24 hours, people suffered badly due to frequent
power cuts in the city localities forcing them remain awake throughout the night. It was a black Tuesday. The power cuts during evening for couple of hours is a normal phenomena. But frequent power cuts throughout the night forced the residents to wait endlessly for resumption of power supply which was finally restored at around 9 am on Wednesday that too for only a couple of hours. The lights first went off in the evening at around 8.10 pm on Tuesday, then at 10 pm, at 12 in the midnight, 1.30 am and it continued till 9 am on Wednesday. "We waited till 4 in the morning with a hope to get power. But it did not resume till 9 in the morning," said Swati of Yarpur locality. The story is more or less the same in other city localities. The humid temperature in the city on Tuesday made the residents restless. On Tuesday, hundreds of marriage pandals had to depend on generator sets. The unbearable polluting noise of gensets made the situation even worse. Power crisis also affected the water supply. Water boring pumps hardly worked due to frequent power cuts. "The invertors too stopped working. Mobiles were discharged, life going totally haywire," said Purushottam of Anisabad.

"It has become a daily phenomenon. The powermen always complain about coal shortage, burning and shortage of transformers, breakdown of grids and shut down of Barauni power plant. But they never admit delay in rectification of faults within their control. Patna Electric Supply Undertaking (Pesu) is unable to do the job because of acute shortage of manpower," said a junior level official, Mukesh.
"There is no accountability of work in the Pesu. Nobody listens to anybody. There is no system of maintaining record of grievances at the control room. In crisis, they stop responding to calls," said a retired government official, Ram Krishna Singh. There are still some apartments where there is no power back-up support system and they also face water crisis, said Kishore Lal who is living in one such multi-storied apartment. Dozens of families have shifted to places of their relatives living in apartments in new capital areas to avoid power cuts. Bihar's thermal power plant is still non-operational due to coal shortage. Pesu's chief (west) S K P Singh admitted that the braker of Jakkanpur grid had failed on Tuesday. "As against the capacity of Jakkanpur grid of 90 MW, we had to manage with half of its capacity. We had to make rational distribution of power," Singh said.
