In Nov., Bescom received nearly 3 lakh complaints from citizens in just two zones
Bescom’s application to the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) seeking a tariff hike has not gone down well with citizens, given that residents in several neighbourhoods continue to face power cuts and fluctuations. In November alone, it received nearly 3 lakh complaints from citizens in just two zones.
Residents of Subramanyanagar, for instance, have come to dread Monday mornings. Over the past two months, they have had to put up with a disruption in power supply at 10 a.m. The duration of the disruption varies, but the power cut has become a regular feature. “There are many people, like me, who work from home. We have a Monday meeting at 10 a.m. and without fail, the power is cut. Despite having power backup, the WiFi doesn’t work. I have to make do with alternative arrangements, which are not cheap,” said Namita A. Kumar, a resident of the area.
