Bengaluru: Life in Bengaluru is going from bad to worse. The unscheduled power cuts are creating headache for Bengalurians from all walks of life.
The Karnataka government announced 4-hour mandatory load shedding every day in the IT capital of the nation to make matters worse for the residents.
The government, last week, had announced 2 hours of mandatory power cut in Bengaluru because of insufficient power generation this year. However, in an expected move, the government increased the duration of power cut to 4 hours in Bengaluru while the rest of the state will be without electricity for 8-10 hours every day.
While the government is pointing fingers at deficient rainfall leading to poor storage of water at hydel power projects, in reality, the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government has not commissioned any new project after assuming power in Karnataka.
The Congress government, which is already facing severe criticism for its indifferent attitude towards the people, will now face additional blame because of the power crisis. The agricultural sector, industry and the IT sector are the worst hit because of the power crisis.
