Outages return as winter starts to pinch: As the winter has started to make its appearance felt, the prolonged and unscheduled electricity loadshedding has once again returned, crippling the domestic and business activity.
The town and the surrounding villages are experiencing 8-10 hours unscheduled power outages making it difficult for the businessmen, housewives and students to carry out their activities easily. The people have demanded the government to either end the loadshedding or issue its schedule so that people can schedule their activities accordingly.
