[Resolved]  Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd — MSEB Load shedding

I belong to a place called Kopargaon near Shirdi, Dist Ahmednagar. On the outskirts of Kopargaon, like many other farmers we have some acres of land. In our area, the so called load shedding process is for minimum 12 hours. After 12 hours of power cut, occurs a fault on the electricity line. MSEB workers take 5-6 hrs to repair the line and then after some time the usual 12 hrs of load shedding starts. After a week, the time for load shedding changes to next 12 hrs...so on that day we have 24 hrs of load shedding or we have electricity at mid night for 3 hrs. After working hard for the whole day, farmers run in the night to water their land or wait for the electricity. Some farmers lose their crop because its not watered on time. Many people take loans for buying seeds, pesticides, etc. How are they supposed to pay off their loans? How will the farmers live?
12 hours of load shedding ...why only for rural area and not for urban?
What is the government doing for the farmers?
I have called up many concerned people in MSEB but no one is taking responsibility...No one wants to at least properly plan the load shedding time. The situation will not change but at least proper planning can improve the situation. But the final things is that..." WHO CARES "!!!
