Power crisis deepens after rain
Due to rain in Muzaffarpur, electricity is being cut every one or two hours. Due to continuous rain for several hours, it is taking a long time to repair even minor faults. Most of the fuse calls come from late evening till late night. There is a lot of movement of electricity at Brahmapura, Bairia, Dadar, Gobarsahi, Chandwara, Majhaulia, Madipur, Bibiganj, Bhagwanpur etc. If you believe the lineman who made the fuse call, then there is water in many places in the streets. There are complaints about fuse blowing at night and it rains continuously. In such a situation, until the rain stops, the fuse cannot be made. It also takes time to reach the transformer in waterlogged areas. This is causing some trouble. Even in rural areas, the condition of power supply is very bad. Due to rain, it is taking six to eight hours to form a fault there. If there is a power failure after 7-8 o’clock in the night, then it comes only in the morning the next day.
