Sleepless Nights May Continue as Overload Keeps Killing Power Supply
Posted on: 21/Jun/2014 2:27:21 PM
In the last one week, there have been frequent power outages and transformer bursts in different urban and suburban localities in Chennai.
It seems that this trend will continue as the Electricity Board struggles to cope with overload.
With temperatures hovering around the 36 degrees Celsius mark during the night, uninterrupted sleep is a luxury that most Chennaiites have not had ever since the outages began.
A group of people even resorted to a protest in Besant Nagar on Thursday night.
Even inverters are not helpful due to the long power outages.
Air-conditioners cannot be kept on continuously.
TANGEDCO officials put the blame on over-consumption stemming from multiple ACs.
