Sandeep Kumar, a resident of Exotica Dream Vally said, “It was difficult to survive in extreme weather conditions. On Monday, power went off around 9 pm and it resumed only around 2 am. As well, there was complete power failure in few societies on Sunday.”
According to the residents, the situation became worse because of overload on DG sets. Residents alleged that DG sets installed for power backup in most of the societies failed to give power backup.
“Power consumption increased manifold and backup system failed. The reason is that in most of the societies power load is high whereas load distribution is low,” said Vikas Kumar, a resident of Panchsheel Greens.
