Pune: Residents of Parsi Colony in Lulla Nagar have begun an online petition to protest against the issue of electricity cuts for several years.

Speaking to Pune Pulse, Farzan Irani, a resident of Parsi Colony, Lullanagar & online petitioner, shared that the petition was started on October 18 (Wednesday) to resolve the erratic supply of power in the Lulla Nagar area. The power cuts damage household appliances and create a nuisance in the daily lives of the residents. The petition requires a minimum of 5,000 signatures to make it effective & reach Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis.

The online petition further states, “There is a Parsi Colony in the Lullanagar area, Pune 411040. It has over 300 flats. The residents have been facing ‘erratic power cuts’ now for more than 15 years and the situation is going from bad to worse. The power goes off and then within 1-2 minutes it comes back and then again after 10-15 minutes it goes off and comes back in 2-3 minutes. This happens more than 8-10 times every day and has been going on for many years now. Our complaints to the local MSEDCL officials here in Pune have fallen on deaf ears. They have also not been able to identify and resolve the root cause for the same. Such erratic power cuts cause damage to various appliances and create a nuisance.”

These everyday power cuts for the Parsi Colony, Lullanagar residents cause a lot of issues in their electrical appliances and daily lives.

Hence, the Parsi Colony residents have appealed for a permanent & long-lasting resolution of the frequent power cuts issue through the online petition.
