Sri Vijaya Puram, Nov. 06: The normal life of the people of Ferrargunj Tehsil is paralysed with erratic power supply in the areas.
According to information, there is reportedly a severe power outage which is unscheduled and protracted and which puts the residents in the area into a vexatious situation to experience. Talking to Andaman Sheekha Daily, Mr. Sunil Kumar, Pradhan Gram Panchayat Ferrergunj said that power cut has put the people of seven number of villages under the Panchayat in real trouble, and the worst hit are Jirkatang and Mailtilak village. In fact, the excessive load shedding has proven to be a death blow to the people of these villages, he said. “Uneven and unscheduled power cuts have become a daily routine in Ferrargunj and no one listens to the woes of the general public in this perspective. We are facing the worst ever power crisis these days and the Department on the other hand is least bothered by this issue of crippling and acute power cuts”, the residents of the region continue to rail at, the Pradhan said. Due to this severe power cut, the reports of damage to electronic gadgets/appliances like TV, Refrigerators and air conditioners are also on the rise, the Pradhan maintained. And most importantly, the school students are the worst affected as their board exams are nearing, the Pradhan forewarned. Official works in the Offices of BDO, CDPO, APWD Guest House, Tehsil Office etc. are being severely disrupted, the Pradhan said. Even the slightest wind/drizzle results in sudden power cuts in the areas thereby putting the people in an unspeakable discomfort, the Pradhan decried. The residents of these villages only make an appeal to the concerned authority to ensure an uninterrupted power supply in the region and give them a relief from this highly erratic power supply, Mr. Sunil Kumar said.
