Irregular power cuts in Tiruttani have caused problems for residents, with the scorching heat adding to their woes.
Tamil Nadu: The city of Tiruttani and surrounding villages have been facing significant inconvenience due to frequent and unannounced power outages over the past few days. The frequent outages amid the intense heat and humidity have disrupted normal life and disrupted people’s daily routines.
According to locals, temperatures in the Tiruttani area have been rising steadily for the past month. The intense heat and scorching sun have made the situation even more difficult over the past week. Temperatures are reportedly reaching around 100 degrees Celsius, leaving the streets virtually empty during the afternoon.
Due to the heat, people in rural areas are forced to stay indoors between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Farmers are also unable to work outside during this time, disrupting agricultural activities.
The most significant problem amid this difficult situation is the frequent power outages. Locals say that power outages occur suddenly in cities and villages at any time of the day or night, and sometimes last for more than an hour. This renders fans and coolers ineffective, and the elderly and young children are suffering from the hot air.
People say that no prior notice is given about power outages, further exacerbating their problems. Power outages at night are preventing them from getting proper sleep, which in turn impacts their health.
Local residents have demanded a permanent solution from the electricity department and administration. They say that a stable power supply is crucial to provide relief in the ever-increasing heat.
Some have also demanded that the government immediately intervene and take strict measures to improve the power supply system. Villagers and city dwellers express hope that the administration will address this serious problem soon and ensure uninterrupted power supply.
At present, the heat and power shortage in the Tiruttani region are posing a significant challenge for the people.
