Subject: Problem of electricity cuts.
Sir,
Through the columns of your daily, I would like to bring to the notice of the State Electricity Board the problems faced by us in our area with erratic electricity supply.
It is examination time and the students are busy preparing for the exams. For us, we are literally burning the midnight oil with oil lamps, candles and emergency lights replacing the tubes and CFLs. Such is our condition with the poor electricity supply to our area. Not only the electricity supply is disrupted frequently, but also such power cuts extend for long hours, even four to six hours per day. Our inverters get almost discharged. What is the reason for this, only the concerned authorities know?
I request you to publish this letter so that the concerned authorities rectify the problem whatever it is.
Thank You,
Regards,
Rishabh

Subject: Frequent load shedding for three months in Kailash Colony.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed national newspaper, I would like to express my concern on the crisis of frequent load shedding in Kailash Colony.
I am surprised that in spite of lodging several complaints with the power department, nothing has been done and the locality of Kailash Colony continue to face frequent load shedding for the last three months. Due to this the people of this locality are facing much hardship.
Further, both parents and their children are very concerned with the frequent power cut as the annual final exams will commence soon. Both teachers and students are also compelled to stay in their class rooms bear the extremely hot summer days without fans. There are several cases of students who suffered dehydration and were admitted to the hospital. The hospital authorities too have confirmed this and the complete data can be obtained from them.
It must also be noted that it is the common people, the low income and hand to mouth groups of people who suffer the most during load shedding because they cannot afford to buy solar panels or generators.
I therefore request the power department and the authorities to look into the matter immediately and restore uninterrupted supply of power to this locality at the earliest.
Yours sincerely,
Neelima
Kailash Colony.
