[Resolved] Bescom — Frequent power cuts

This is with regards to the frequent power cuts in my area (Ramamurthy Nagar). From past one week the power cuts have been too many and there has been no notification or information about this. The happens both during the day and night timings. Iam mother of a 6 month old baby and that is one main reason that iam writing this complaint. For me my child's health is very important and due to these power cuts my baby is unable to sleep as it is core summer time now. Today there has been power cuts from 8.30 pm in the evening and my baby has not slept from then till 11:30 pm. i understand that there has been shortage of power in Bangalore and thats one reason why power cuts are done, but at-least these should be limited.

The government of Karnataka has to do something about this issue. Me and my husband have been regular tax payers and iam sure we have all rights to say this. When states like Kerala can completely withdraw load shedding, i don't understand why this is happening in Karnataka. We have so many cities in India which never have power cuts and compared those cities Bangalore cannot be called a Metro city.

Iam sure there are lots of babies in Bangalore who lose their sleep because of these reckless power cuts. Whomever is reading this complaint please can you do something at-least for these babies.

BESCOM — Unplanned power cuts in Bangalore city

To

Any Bescom official monitoring this forum,

I do understand the power situation in Karnataka is not looking very good and therefore power cuts are unavoidable. My only request is to make this as a planned exercise. So that citizens can plan accordingly. Planned cuts means 1) power cuts for a fixed time period every day (e.g. 1or 2 hours daily) 2) timing fixed and on a rotation basis in each location (for e.g. 9-10 am for a week in a specific location, then this moves to 10-11 am for the next week in the same location) etc. This ensures not particular location has a disadvantage wrt to a specific time period.

This is applied in most of the Metro cities like Mumbai. It would be good to see this in Bangalore too.

Regards

We have been experiencing frequent power cuts in Sarjapura region. Initially, all the residence thought that it may be happening due to scheduled power cuts. But, very recently it has been observed that this is not a scheduled cut but the The BESCOM concerned authority is acting very irresponsible. Moreover, whenever we call the help desk number, the number is purposely kept on busy tone or no one picks up. Sometimes, the concerned people misguide by provide faulty information.

I request the concerned people to look into this matter immediately. People should understand the importance of electricity. We understand that there is more demand than the supply of electricity but government authorities should not shy away from their core responsibility.

I hope that this problem will be resolved very soon so that people of Sarjapura can have their peace of mind.

Dear Sir / Madam

I recently reloacated from Indranagar to KR Puram and first experience i had in the new location was the Power cuts, in indranagar the powecuts are Scheduled, probably once or twice in a day and would be for a hour, but in KR Puram its unscheduled and is very frequent probably 5 to 6 times in a day and happens for few mins or for few hours, i understand power cuts happen accross other cities but over here its very frequent and when you have power cuts for few mins or so the electrical appliances take the brunt of it, would request you to kindly look into the matter and have it fixed at the earliest.

Regards,
Soma.

I'm a resident of J.P.Nagar Phase 2 and power cuts have become an EVERYDAY affair now, since August. They are unscheduled and last for 1 hour minimum. I have made atleast 30-40 calls to the BESCOM call center regarding this long term issue but nothing has been done and nothing is being done either.
Students have exams going on and the heavy rains make use of mosquito repellants necessary, which can't be used without power. Due to frequent cuts, our electronics are bearing the brunt and we already had to change our TV.

PLEASE HELP ME AND THE RESIDENTS OF JP NAGAR 2ND PHASE OUT AGAINST BESCOM'S INCOMPETENCE AND NEGLIGENCE.
