Irked over the unscheduled power cuts, residents of Balangir town
staged a dharna in front of the Wesco Executive Engineer’s office here on
Friday.
Protesting against the power disruption and low voltage in the
town, members of the Balangir Action Committee led by its president Gopalji
Panigrahi, Santosh Pradhan and Aaam Admi Party Balangir unit president Ajaya
Das sat in dharna. Similarly, a group of women led by Pankajini Panda also
staged a dharna before the Superintending Engineer’s office.
Shouting slogans against the Energy Department, the agitators
alleged that there have been such power cuts for last few days and the Wesco
authorities have failed to solve the issue.
Explaining the power situation on Thursday, Wesco Balangir
Superintending Engineer Ashis Patjoshi had said there was a problem in the
OPTCL.
“Hence, we are forced to go in for loadshedding. We don’t resort
to unscheduled to power cuts. We are striving to ensure better electricity
supply in the town in the forthcoming Durga Puja,” said Patjoshi.
