Rising temperatures trigger surge in power cut complaints across Hyderabad
As temperatures rise in Hyderabad, complaints of power cuts have surged across several areas. Residents reported prolonged outages since Wednesday night, while TGSPDCL acknowledged grievances but many claimed issues remained unresolved, affecting daily life and work-from-home routines.
Hyderabad: As the day temperature is increasing steadily in the city so are the power cut complaints. Cutting across areas, people are complaining about power outages since last night and are continuing on Thursday as well.
Though the Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) is acknowledging the complaints, many people are complaining that power cuts have not been addressed in their areas.
Harsh Kanani, an X user said “Hyderabad’s electricity infrastructure is seriously disappointing. Faced multiple power cuts last night in the BHEL area, completely unacceptable in this extreme heat. Urgent need to strengthen and modernize the power infrastructure,”
Another consumer from Kishanbagh, Abdul Basith said “There is no power since night 1 a.m. no action has been taken by the electricity department. This was caused due to transformer failure in Asad Baba Nagar, Kishanbagh near Bismillah hotel,”
Similarly, @Shahraz82, an X user said “Continous power cuts from yesterday night in Diamond Hills area Golconda division. Any reason for power cuts?,” he asked.
“Not sure what’s going on, power was back for 25 minutes and it’s gone again now. This has been happening continuously since last week. Did not receive any call or message stating issue is getting resolved,”
To this the TGSPDCL replied that his details were noted. “We have informed the concerned officer,” the TGSPDCL said on X.
The power outage complaints are not limited to any one particular area. People from different areas are lodging complaints. Things are getting challenging for employees, who continue to work from home.
Raj, an X user said “Why are there frequent power cuts nowadays especially during peak summer. There is no power supply in Moula Ali, Vasanth Vihar Colony opposite Unani Hospital lane. We do work from home and it is very difficult,”
And, in a few cases, the consumers are even sharing the Unique Service Number (USC) to press that their complaints were genuine. “No power in Kondapur, Sriram Nagar Block A. The power crisis is outrageous and prevalent. Really fed up,” Pushkar Mishra said on X sharing the USC and his contact details as well.
