Unscheduled power cuts irk citizens

Bengaluru is facing unscheduled power cuts and voltage fluctuations despite claims of resolving the energy crisis. The number of unscheduled power cuts is increasing even as the energy scenario improves. Increased power demand and load factor, especially during peak hours, are overloading the existing infrastructure, causing breakdowns and outages. Engineers at Bescom attribute the problem to the inability of the infrastructure to withstand the additional load. However, the engineers and technical staff are quick to respond and restore power supply within minutes.
