Gurmitkal MLA Addresses Drinking Water Concerns with Yadgir Deputy Commissioner

A local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) has reported that residents in rural areas are experiencing prolonged power outages following recent adverse weather conditions, which included heavy rainfall and winds. The MLA highlighted concerns that the Gulbarga Electricity Supply Company (GESCOM) has not restored electricity supply even after a full day of disruption.

As severe weather can lead to downed power lines and infrastructure damage, GESCOM typically undertakes restoration efforts that include assessing damage and deploying repair crews. However, the prolonged outages have raised concerns about the utility’s response time and resources during extreme weather events.

Authorities are urged to address the challenges in restoring power, especially for rural communities that may already be vulnerable due to limited access to resources. Ensuring reliable electricity supply is essential for safety, healthcare, and communication, particularly during inclement weather conditions. Community members have called for more transparency and updates from GESCOM regarding restoration timelines and measures being taken to prevent future disruptions.
