Naigaon-Vasai-Nallasopara-Virar - Still Living in the Dark

The Maharashtra Government has turned a deaf ear to our woes. Why should only we suffer because of load-shedding? The power outage is now for more than 8 hours a day. In other parts of the city too like Thane, Vashi, Mulund, Bhiwandi, Dombivili, the load-shedding is between 3-5 hours, while the rest of Mumbai is enjoying 24 hours un-interrupted power and at the same time wasting electricity.

DON'T WE PAY TAXES?
ARE WE NOT HUMANS?

DON'T WE HAVE CHILDREN WHO ALSO WANT TO PLAY AND STUDY?
DON'T WE HAVE SICK AT HOME?
SHOULD WE NOT CELEBRATE ANY OCCASION?

CAN WE NOT ENJOY A MOVIE AT HOME ON A SUNDAY?

WHY DO ONLY WE HAVE TO SUFFER?


The Chief Minister of Maharastra - Vilasrao Deshmukh consumes power more than the Prime Minister of India. His official bungalow on Malabar Hill has consumed more than double the units of electricity (16.35 lakhs) than the official residence of the PM over the last 3 years.

When his eldest son got married recently, so much of electricity was consumed for the lavish wedding. Do we deserve to get married in the dark and in the heat??

Make the common man pay for the politician’s errors - that is the dictum of our Maharashtra government. Shame on you all the politicians including our so called MP - Govinda.

After a recent agitation at Nallasopara and Virar stations, A MSEB officer commented "With poor monsoon, more load-shedding is on the cards and consumers should cooperate instead of agitating". Why should only we cooperate? Why can't the entire state of Maharashtra cooperate? Why are commercial establishments like shopping malls, multiplexes and amusement parks not facing load-shedding? Even at residential areas in Mumbai, the street lights are on during broad daylight? Do we suffer so that you can waste electricity? Maharashtra has gone to the dumps.



Load-shedding should be in the entire state of Maharashtra including Mumbai for 2 hours daily - 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. This way we can save electricity and bring unity and equality amongst all.

From the residents of Naigaon-Vasai-Nallasopara-Virar region
