GREATER NOIDA: Residents of a Dankaur-based village in Greater Noida protested on Sunday morning against the electricity department for allegedly discontinuing the power supply for the past 10 days.
The residents alleged that they face severe power cuts which can last up to days since the officials don’t address their complaints on time. The residents of Derin Khuban village raised slogans against the department.
“We have been facing regular power cuts. No one from the power department gives a satisfactory response to any of our complaints. There is no electricity in the village for the past 10 days,” said Ummed Ali, a vilager.
Shiv Kumar, the sub-divisional officer at Dankaur substation, told TOI that there has been a fault in a 150-metre underground wire which goes through the Peripheral Expressway, “We have arranged a new wire for the replacement. The issue will be fixed within two days,” he said.
