Dear Editor,
I am writing to draw attention to the serious issue of
frequent power cuts plaguing the Rumtek area. These persistent interruptions in
electricity supply are causing significant hardship to local residents and
businesses alike.
The constant power outages not only disrupt daily life but
also pose a real threat to our electronic devices. Many residents have reported
damage to appliances and equipment due to sudden power surges when electricity
is restored. This financial burden on the community is unacceptable and
entirely preventable.
It is evident that the Power Department has failed in its
duty to provide reliable electricity to our area. Their inability to maintain a
stable power supply or address the root causes of these frequent outages
demonstrates a lack of planning and proper infrastructure management.
We urge the Power Department to take immediate action to
rectify this situation. This should include:
1. Conducting a thorough assessment of the power
infrastructure in Rumtek
2. Implementing necessary upgrades to prevent future outages
3. Providing a clear timeline for improvements
4. Establishing a responsive customer service system to
address residents' concerns
As citizens and taxpayers, we deserve a reliable power
supply. The current situation is untenable, and we call on the relevant
authorities to address this issue with the urgency it demands.
Yours etc,
Anushka Pradhan
Rumtek, Sikkim
