[Resolved] Bescom — Power Shortage

M Manoj from Bengaluru, Karnataka

Brand Bangalore, plagued by notorious traffic snarls and pot-holed roads, has added one more feather to its infamous cap — frequent power outages. Frequent and long power cuts have made life miserable for residents, but the government seem to realize that less rainfall is to be blamed. Why didn't the government anticipate the situation, and why are the power cuts unscheduled? Most localities in the city are shrouded by dark streets for hours on end. "We have power cuts at least three times a day with a minimum of a two-hour daily power cut, while other urban areas in the State had to suffer a five-hour blackout. Commercial establishments can get generators but we individuals can't afford them. "Karnataka is the IT capital of India and a showcase for our country to the western world in terms of the Indian engineering and IT capabilities. But the enormous power shortage in the national grid and the galloping demand in the state has meant a serious shortfall in the power situation in Karnataka. Bescom is also finding it difficult to meet the demand in Bangalore with the government planning load-shedding statewide. WHAT ARE THE STEPS THE NEW GOVERNMENT IS TAKING TO RESOLVE THE POWER PROBLEM ? I am Manoj a resident from 14th Main, BTM 1st Stage, Bangalore - 29. Facing lots of problem with the frequent power cuts in BTM 1st Stage. 1 hour of power cut in morning and 1 Hour of power cut in night everyday. I have called and complained to BESCOM many times but the result is "Causal reply - Navvu yenu madak agu-tha-dhe". The Government and the BESCOM is really not tackling the whole power shortage problem appropriately as a result of which we residents in Bangalore are suffering. So, I kindly request the CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FORUM, INDIA or the respective POWER department to go through the whole Power-shortage scenario in Bangalore fully and kindly do the needfull.

I can do nothing but second this note. The new government came into power with a mandate to bring in revolutionary reforms. This has been true only for the infrastructure so far. Thankfully roads which were not tarred for over 10 -15 years (YES!!) have been tarred. Not deviating into what further work our Muncipal Dept has done on those roads, I would want Yeddi to answer some questions:

- Bangalore has faced a power supply problem since the past 20 years. Thats how far I can recall. Is there no way that the govenrment can think of ways of sanctioning power projects for the state
- Why are power outages become more frequent. As a tax payer I would like to understand where is the money being utilised.
- Why are power companies not willing to invest in Karnataka. What are their barriers to entry?

Recently, i started a small eatery joint in the garage area of my house.
There are only 2 bulbs (10%) in this particular area and 90% of the floor on which the eatery is, has been used for residential purpose.Is it true that even though there are only 2 bulbs, the entire meter will be counted as Commercial power supply?Kindly guide before the official start demanding some amount.
