Dear Sir,
Permit me to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned through the columns of you esteemed paper, the frequent break – down in the electricity supply.
Frequent break – down of electricity has caused a great discomfort to the residents of my locality.Break-down for 4-5 times daily has become a routine. This break-down continues from half to full hour every time.Even the voltage is so low that it causes an extensive damage to the electronic devices and appliances.
The water supply is also connected with electricity supply. So if there is uncertain breakdown of electricity, the result of it can be seen on water supply. The flow of our taps slows down. So people get less quantity of water.
Students who are preparing for their examinations face great difficulties because of it. They are unable to make their study plans. This creates frustration among them. They suffer mood problems. All this affects their performance in examination.
The events of theft are increasing in this locality. The thieves get chances of stealing in the darkness of night created because of the breakdown of electricity.
The Electricity Board must install new and powerful transformers in the area. The supply of power must be streamlined. All necessary steps should be taken earnestly and promptly to give relief to the residents of the area.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully ,
Manish Maya
