Despite repeated representations, there was no solution to the problem, as about 70 families today staged a hustle and bustle at Madhapar sub-division and expressed their anguish over the harassment caused by the power company and threatened not to pay the electricity bill if it was not resolved in the coming days. Power dimming in power lines for 6 months Residents of Popatpara protesting at Madhapur sub-division said that despite repeated representations to PGVCL about power dimming in power lines for the last 6 months, the problem has not been resolved till date. Whenever we make a presentation, the answer is that the vehicle has left, but till date the vehicle has not reached Popatpara, so the problem persists. Electrical appliances such as washing machines and fans were burnt to ashes "Equipment including fans are available here and the lights come and go," said Nitaben, a local resident. So it is very difficult. Due to the power dim-fill, the electrical appliances in the house have also been damaged, in which electrical appliances like fridge, TV, washing machine, fan have been burnt due to high voltage. Despite repeated complaints to PGVCL, no resolution has been brought by the system. Consumers from around 140 households with electricity connections came for the presentation Prajapati, deputy engineer of Madhapur sub-division, told Divyabhaskar Digital that around 140 customers of families with electricity connections near the corner of Popatpara 9/15 had come for representations. On Sunday night, the cable was burnt due to an increase in load, which led to a fault in the electrical resources. Residents said resources including ACs and fridges were burnt. The process will be carried out to install a new transformer as soon as space is available here.
