Unscheduled power cuts in the midnight are proving nightmarish for people in Andhra Pradesh. After having commuted to offices on the pothole-ridden roads and come back completely exhausted in the evening, people are finding it hard to accept the unscheduled power cuts. The power cuts in the midnight is the most discussed whenever two people meet or a group of people are getting together in any public place.
Without a proper sleep in the night, people are complaining of several health problems like increased blood sugar and also fatigue. With power supply being disrupted, mosquitoes are literally making life pathetic, complained many people.
There is no fixed timing for the power cut. At times, power supply is being cut for hours together both in the morning and in the night too, complained a resident of Vijayawada. The situation is much worse in rural areas where the villagers are remaining without power for even for an entire day. If the situation is so bad in the beginning of April, how can we survive in May, asked a villager of Surampalem in East Godavari district.
Meanwhile, some people wondered why cannot the authorities restrict themselves to power cuts in the day. “Can’t they allow the public to have a peaceful sleep at least? All through the day, we are being forced to earn to pay the for the hiked taxes on essentials and fuels and in the night, they are not allowing us to sleep properly to get ready for earning our livelihood the next day. Life has really become burdensome and proving to be a very tough task.”
Under the YCP regime, tax has been imposed on trash and even on toilets, in addition to the essentials and fuels. Then commuting on the bad roads is another problem. In the night, power cuts are leaving people to the mercy of the mosquitoes, the people rued.
The tariff on power has also been increased but unfortunately, the government is not able to provide uninterrupted power supply. As it is, summers are becoming hot with each passing year and living even without a fan with high humidity is causing irritation both to the body and mind, pointed out a native of Narasapuram in West Godavari district.
Power cut for a minimum of two hours in the night when people are in deep sleep could lead to serious health disorders on a long run, warn doctors.
It is time the authorities helming the power departments think of a solution and ensure there are no power cuts at least in the nights, when people are in a mood to rest.
