Volting voltage and frequent power suspension, especially at night, caused serious concern among the inhabitants in several parts of Tiruchi.
In April and May the city and suburban parts recorded power outages in selected areas. Officials Tamil Nadu Distribution Corporation Corporation LTD quoted the technical reasons and damage to the distribution network in May for fluctuations and disturbance of energy supply. With the summer season, many expected that unannounced power outages would not be frequent unannounced.
However, the city and its neighboring areas continue to experience current outages. The cross -section of the population says that the supply of energy supply has become a daily affair.
Over the past few days, power outages have been frequent in several areas such as Smatta, Ponmalai, Ponmalaipatti, Kottapatt, Mannarpuram, Subralamiapuram and Crawford. In some areas, the outage is at least 30 minutes to one hour between 20:00 and 2:00, the power outages exceed one hour. In addition to the release of the load at night, energy slices are forced during the day.
“We do not know when the power will go out. We have encountered frequent cuts in the last few weeks. Consumers have complained that voltage fluctuations and unpredictable supplies make air -conditioning air conditioning and other electrical appliances.
While he said there was no lack of energy, the higher TNPDC official told the Hinds that the heavy rain that the city brought with a strong wind on May 4 caused extensive damage to the energy distribution network. Several poles were eradicated in the city. Power Transformers, a key energy transfer device, suffered damage in three places, including K. Sathanur. It took 10 days to solve all problems due to infrastructure damage.
The clerk said that regular maintenance work cannot be prevented from January to April, because the power off of power avoided during the trial season. TNPDC raised the curb during periodic maintenance by announcing the power off in May. Setting the problem caused by suspension of periodic maintenance can take several weeks. Officials and field workers worked overtime to ensure continuous power supply, the official said.
