Bhatkal Residents Concerned Over Frequent Power Cuts Ahead of Eid

Residents of Bhatkal have once again raised concerns about frequent power cuts as the Eid season approaches. Although electricity supply is currently available in many areas, people say that power interruptions have been happening repeatedly during Ramadan, causing inconvenience to households and businesses.

According to several residents, this situation has become a yearly pattern. During the days leading up to Eid, power supply often becomes unstable, and outages occur more frequently. Many people say they experience similar problems every year around the same time.

What has particularly frustrated residents is that the explanation given for these outages is often the same. Officials usually state that the “main power line has been cut” or that a tree has fallen on the line. While such technical problems can occur occasionally, residents question why the same reasons are cited almost every year, especially during important occasions like Ramadan and Eid.

Electricity demand naturally increases during Ramadan as families wake up early for Suhoor and stay active late into the night for prayers and gatherings. Because of this, stable power supply becomes especially important for homes, mosques, shops, and other local businesses.

Many residents say that the repeated outages are affecting daily life and are urging the concerned electricity authorities to address the issue more effectively. They are calling for proper maintenance of power lines and a reliable supply, particularly during the festive season.

With Eid approaching, residents hope that power supply will remain stable and that the authorities will take necessary steps to prevent the recurring problems that have been reported in previous years.
