A letter addressed to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and MSEDCL Managing Director Lokesh Chandra by Sunil Koloti, Sunil Aiyer, and Nadeem Inamdar of Team MURWD Foundation has brought to light the severity of the situation. Koloti expressed deep concern over the frequent power failures, which sometimes last for hours. He emphasized that the residents consistently pay their MSEDCL bills on time, yet face disconnection threats for minor delays.
Koloti also pointed out specific infrastructure issues exacerbating the problem. He cited the high tension wires near Dorabjee Paradise Bungalow in Mohammadwadi, which have caused severe commuting issues due to road closures. The miscommunication between agencies has resulted in inconvenience for local residents already dealing with multiple issues.
Additionally, he highlighted the danger posed by poles and overhead wires at Kad Nagar Chowk, which have compromised resident safety for over a year and a half. Despite road widening efforts by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), MSEDCL has not relocated its infrastructure, leading to frequent traffic congestion and accidents.
The outdated infrastructure in the area is a major cause of frequent power supply disruptions. These power failures have resulted in several adverse effects, including inconvenience to citizens, particularly senior citizens and children, food spoilage and water scarcity due to pump failures, disruption of work-from-home and business activities, disturbance to school and college-going students, and damage to electrical appliances.
Residents have also reported a lack of response from MSEDCL to complaints, further aggravating their frustration. Koloti urged the authorities to identify the root cause of the problem and take corrective measures. He called for an upgrade of the infrastructure to ensure a reliable power supply and the establishment of a prompt response team to address power failures swiftly.
The residents of Mohammadwadi and Undri HillTop Nyati County await a prompt response from the authorities to alleviate their ongoing plight.
