Sub.: Complaint regarding irregular power outage.

Sir/Madam,

With due respect, I would like to draw your kind attention towards the issue captioned as above. I live in the _______ locality. My electricity consumer number is __________.

The ongoing power outage in our area has left us mentally distressed. It is also affecting our sleep hours at night. The food in the refrigerator is being spoiled due to long hours of power cuts. The children are unable to concentrate on their studies due to extreme heat. The senior citizens are feeling mentally depressed as well. I am unable to perform my office work from home due to frequent disconnection of the internet.

[Here, you can mention any other problems that you might be facing due to the frequent power outage in your locality. Describe how it affects you, your family and your work.]

As you would appreciate that, not every family can afford an inverter for home or a generator. Hence, we need the electricity to be available for maximum time in a day. I believe that we can manage a one-hour power cut per day, if it happens at a specific time in a day.

Therefore, I humbly request you to give due consideration to the issues faced by us as mentioned above, and take appropriate action to redress our concern at the earliest. We shall be grateful to you.

Yours sincerely,

[Name of the Consumer]

Sub.: Frequent power cuts in our area.

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am a resident of Vikas Nagar, a locality in Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune, 412101. I live here in a two-storey building with my family of 5 members. My electricity consumer number is 123456789.

I would like to draw your kind attention to the daily occurrence of irregular power outages in our locality for the last two-three months. It is causing undesirable inconvenience to the residents. Sometimes, the power cuts last for several hours, which cause mental distress largely.

As this is the summer season with excruciating heat waves, living without electricity for a long duration can give birth to several problems viz. children face difficulties in concentrating on their studies, senior citizens with health issues can get very erratic, food in the refrigerator gets spoiled, men in offices and the ones rendering physical labour also are unable to work properly, sleep deprivation, and likewise.

Therefore, I urge your goodself to look into this issue immediately, and kindly take necessary action to restore regular power supply in our locality. The residents of our locality shall be grateful to you for your support.

Yours faithfully,

Vilas Salunkhe
