New Delhi: Drenched in sweats due the scorching heatwave, Delhiites are grappling with extreme summers this season. The recent power outage in many parts of of the national capital has further added to the misery of Delhi residents. The problem has been lingering for several days but no proper answer has been sought yet.
Many residents have taken to Twitter in bid to seek redressal but to no avail. Chattarpur in South Delhi is also among the areas hit with power cut. Similar blackouts have been reported in East Delhi as well.
Dear @TataPower and @ArvindKejriwal, there is a power cut in Burari area of North Delhi for 2 consecutive days, when we have paid our bills on time, why is the electricity being cut, what is your promise Kejriwalji as well as #Ndpl you both’re cheaters.

BSES, apparently, has been asking people to share their CA numbers but residents have been provided with no solutions till now. Netizens have tagged Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, hoping to seek some sort of releif.
@bsesdelhi @ArvindKejriwal There has been a power cut since last 3 hours in Paryavaran Complex,Saket and you say Delhi has 24/7 power supply???This cut out happens almost everyday.Please take strict action.

In Delhi, suddenly feel transported back to 90s.
Power cuts late at night, again at 4:30am, again at 9am, for extended durations, sweat trickling down into the pillow, sound of newspapers being used to fan oneself, room temperature water from the fridge.
Truly nostalgic!!!

Twitter is currently sweeped with tweets from residents in Delhi who are suffering due to the long hours without electricity showing their disappointment with the BSES as no justifications have been rendered so far.

Inferior service from BSES !— Anurag vaish (@Anuragvaish10) June 13, 2022
