[Resolved] Bescom — Unwanted power cuts in weekend | |||
Hi I am staying in Munnekolala, Marathahalli in Bangaore. In the weekends here we are facing huge power cuts. Last saturday (18/09/2010) there was a power cut from 8AM to 2:30 PM. On asking to BESCOM authority (Toll free number, local office, Junior engineer) nobody was giving any specific answer. Yesterday (24/09/2010) there was a power cut from 7:30 PM to 3 AM(25/09/2010) and again 4:30 AM to 6 AM(25/09/2010). This occurred due to a small rain. On asking the BESCOM authorities we are told there is a major trouble which they are not able to trace. Even the response from the Junior engineer was disappointing and that person started misbehaving after frequent query. This kind of things are not new here . Even it is heard that due to some maintenance there will be power cut today (25/09/2010) from 9AM to 6PM. This kind of prolonged power cuts are damaging the study of children, ruining small scale business. But BESCOM is showing it's irresponsibility every time. I request to proper authority to take action against BESCOM (specially Marathahalli branch) as soon as possible for such misconduct. Was this information helpful? | |||

Each and every day there will be a power cut for at least 5 to 6 hours in RT Nagar, KR puram, Rammurthy Nagar. There is no particular time frame, whenever they want they will cut the power, people are struggling here. This has no effect on people who are working in software companies as they will be @ office in AC for the whole day but, what about their families who will be at home ?
Always the phone receiver will be kept aside and we get the same engage tone whenever we try to reach the electricity department. Irresponsible & careless answers, even if someone picks up the cal. For what sake the government is paying the salaries to these irresponsible persons?
Why do we have to pay huge tax to the government if it is not doing anything for the common people ?

Bescom, Bangalore — Unwanted power cut
I am staying in Munnekolala, Marathahalli area in Bangalore. Here we are facing unwanted power cut not only in the day time but also through out the night. While I tried to call the electricity office for long time nobody pick the phone. Even if anybody pick the phone they tell there is some technical problem most of the time. Through out the day there is around 10 hours o[censored]nwanted and undeclared power cut is happening here. Today (10th July 2010) the power went away from 11PM and it was not there till 1.15 am. On asking the Bescom customer care I have been told there is load shading in my area. I asked them whether it is declared by Govt, they said no and couldn't gave me any satisfactory answer. From last 6 months such power cuts are happening regularly . So please take action against Bescom (at least against Marathahalli section). Its the same in Shampur Area... I am sure this is lack of planing... with BESCOM, dont we think we need power to be addressed as a need. Even the small states in the rest of the country is well planned to address power... Karnataka seems to be behind the rest of most states by few years...
Bangalore looses power with overhead lines... making sure we dont have any overhead lines could save powercuts.
The best is to privitise power here like in Mumbai... it may be costlier but available...
