There will be no regular maintenance work till the lockdown, says an EB official in the Mandaveli area.
He says, “Since several workers have not been able to come to work, we have not been able to do the maintenance work that we do regularly. Handling the complaints of customers is our priority now, most of the staff who report to work have been asked to do that first”.
When asked if arrangements have been made to meet the power needs of customers this summer, he says, “A lot of customers will start using air conditioners during the summer and we have taken the necessary steps to ensure that there are no power cuts when load increases”.
