Kolkata is literally in the ‘dying’ stage because of the scorching heat of the sun. There is no rain for the past few days, although earlier Alipore’s Met Department predicted of some rain. It’s becoming impossible day by day to go outside, with temperature rising high to 39 and 40 degrees Celsius.
Added to this natural calamity is the power cut and shortage of water supply in the city. There is load shedding for long hours often stretching to more than 3 hours. And, just like any other summer, in this year also, the picture has not changed. With extreme hotness and unlimited sweating, most of the generators at the thermal power stations have stopped working on the pretext of power disruption.
The Kolkatans are devastated with now-and-then power cuts and lack of adequate water supply. People have already started agitations in the front of the CESC head office in central Kolkata. I don’t know why this happen with our city all the time?
It’s no old news that during the summers every time we face such difficulties. No proper steps whatsoever are taken to ease the situation by the KMC or the CESC. They should keep extra, powerful generators exclusively for the summer months – April and May, and must do something to handle power shortage and water disorders in the future.
