Respected Sir,

Sub: Rectify the irregular Power Supply in our locality.

This is to bring to your attention the problems faced by the residents of our locality. For the past two months we have been facing irregular power supply of long duration both in the mornings and evenings. We take strong objection to the in the evenings. While it is understandable that the production of electricity is insufficient, and has led to unavoidable situation, it is not acceptable that there is no uniformity in the irregular power supply in different areas. It is also objectionable that factories which consume much more electricity than residences have not been affected.

The school – going children have faced terrible problems with power – cuts. There is the question of safety too as the whole area is dark to power – cuts. Unfortunately, the rich can manage with inverters and generators. It is the poor who suffer.

We have lodged complaints twice before. But no action has been taken. We request you act upon our complain immediately and ensure that the irregular power supply in the evenings are stopped.

Thanking You,
