Bangalore is supposed to be the IT capital of India. They even call it the Silicon Valley of India. So much for that! but Karnataka Electricity Board or the BESCOM are not able to handle eccentricity problems.
Frequent power cuts are very common here. There is no scheduled power cut and power comes and goes all the time. Presently We are having a minimum four-hour cut which sometimes goes on to six hours. In summer the power condition is almost like an village, there is no power at all, sometimes the whole day… sometimes the whole night… The most weird part is when I call up the electric board office in my area, they don’t even pick up the call and when they do, ( I am very lucky that time because they pick up phone) they gave very funny answers. or speak very rudely or telling me that they can’t help.
One more thing that surprise me, The Earth Hour campaign. Karnataka government spent lot of money to advertise this event. There are lot of hoardings like “Please switch off your lights for one hour” but they don’t know, everyday we celebrate earth hour. I think in India everybody celebrates earth hour, there is no need to celebrate this event in specific day.
I think government should not waste money in event like this they should invest money in power generation and good distribution structure.
