In the Panchmahal district, concerns are rising about the power supply situation ahead of the monsoon. With only a few days left before the rainy season begins, citizens are demanding that the Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Limited (MGVCL) take action to improve electrical maintenance. Many areas in the city of Godhra have power lines and transformers covered in weeds and debris. This increases the risk of short circuits, which could lead to power outages during the rains.
Residents have reported that even light winds can cause power interruptions. Entire neighborhoods can be left in darkness for hours. With these issues occurring before the monsoon, local people are worried about what might happen during the heavy rains. Past incidents of short circuits have already caused damage and inconvenience to citizens, making them anxious about the upcoming season.
Particularly in some areas of the city, power lines have not been properly maintained for years. When residents try to call the power company for help, they often find that the staff do not answer the phone. This makes it difficult for people to resolve immediate issues, adding to their frustration.
Residents are now urging the power company to take immediate action. They want all faulty lines, transformers, and overgrown vegetation cleared before the monsoon starts. If timely action is not taken, there could be severe damage and risks to life during the rainy season. The situation calls for urgent attention to ensure that residents are safe and that power supply remains uninterrupted during the rains. The community hopes that the government will listen to their concerns and act quickly to prevent any disasters during the upcoming monsoon season.
