Port Blair, Dec 29: The CPI(M) today cried foul over indiscriminate power cuts in Port Blair city. Mr. B. Chandrachoodan, Secretary of CPI(M)’s A & N Unit today wrote a letter to the Chief Secretary of A & N Administration and urged him to intervene into the matter and direct the authorities in the Electricity Department to minimise the power cuts even for undertaking maintenance works as the general public, particularly the students, are facing hardship due to the continuous power cut.
“It has been noticed that in some of the areas electricity supply was discontinued for two days continuously, causing untold hardship to the people. The continuous power cut is causing difficulties for the students who arc preparing for various examinations. There is all-round discontentment among the people on this issue and even the officials of the Electricity Department are unable to respond to the frantic calls being made by the people to know the position about the restoration or power supply,” Mr. Chandrachoodan added in his letter.
