23rd November:
Raining in Jalgaon District, worsening state of electricity:
Most of the places in district
yesterday witnessed showery raining in evening around 7:30PM.
The sudden raining troubled hawkers and pedestrians. Most the
District now a day remain in total dark during evening time
from 6PM to 9PM following so called Load Shedding terribly disrupting
living.
The earlier Electricity Board converted into four different
companies with vision to improve standards and consumer facilities
have failed to understand its customers. In spite of introducing
more of customer friendly and traditional business convenience
approaches, it is in reverse pathway. Electricity Bill provided
by the Company is one such outrageous example that gives no
understanding of billing to customers and scrolls to two pages
with consumer companies advertisements posted on it. Who has
given rights to Government/ Government-owned Organisations to
disgrace and uncomforting its loyal customers? Does Governments
take everything for granted by citizens?
We are on revolution verge and such painful state of Government
Organisations panics more of disgusting moves rather than adding
to overall Country's progress. More than 95% of State Electricity
Company Consumers would give a clear-cut statement of getting
excess billings backed by ZERO Service. Moreover the recently
run Load Shedding and Zero Load concepts are worst ones. A year
before load shedding used to have regular timings and now there
is no timing at all. The current scenario of electricity supply
reminds us of UP and Bihar once again where Electricity moreover
is a Government Gift to Citizens rather than necessity and Power
Generators/ Invertors/ Batteries are lifelines.
