Verna village is blessed with a underground power cabling network for the past many years but the power supply is pitiable to say the least with multiple power cuts becoming the order of the day making it more of a curse than a blessing.
Just a couple of weeks back, the Electricity Department had a total South Goa shutdown for a so called annual maintenance but from the very next day power supply got tripped off at regular intervals.
On June 7, there were about 14 instances where power supply got tripped off, damaging our electric and electronic appliances.
Is the Electricity Department just bluffing the consumers of the so called maintenance when nothing is really happening on the ground. The common retort when the department office is called for enquiry at Verna or Majorda is that the mains at Xeldem has tripped off and the buck is passed to that end.
It’s high time the Electricity Department and the Power Minister wake up from their deep slumber and put their house in order and give the consumers the service they deserve of regular power.
