Protesters alleged that for the last four days, the power supply has been affected reasons best known to concerned department but the people were left living in miserably drenched in sweat and sometimes without water supply which also got affected due to lack of power supply. Finding no solution to their plight even after repeated pleas the locals were forced to come on road.
They further alleged that even the matter was brought to the notice of the senior officers of the PDD, still their grievance was ignored.
"My father is allergic to hot and humid climate and and require protection from heat but the erratic power supply further added his woes, courtesy to PDD", a resident said.
