What’s inside:
This article discusses the ongoing power supply issues in Patna, Bihar, where citizens are frustrated with frequent power cuts despite government claims of providing free electricity.
In Bihar, there’s a lot of frustration about electricity supply. The state government claims to provide 125 units of free electricity and ensures 24-hour power supply. However, the reality is quite different, especially in Patna, where people are suffering from frequent power cuts.
Last night, the situation got heated when residents of Didarganj area in Patna were left without power for an entire day. They were upset as the electricity was cut off in the morning and was still not restored by 9 PM. This led to protests outside the power office, with people blocking roads and burning tires in anger.
The locals demanded that the power supply be restored immediately. When police arrived on the scene, they managed to calm things down, but frustrations against the government and the electricity department were high among the people.
Efforts to get a response from the Didarganj Electricity Office were unsuccessful, as officials did not answer their phones. This lack of communication only added to the anger of the consumers, who feel let down by the government’s claims of uninterrupted electricity supply.
As a result of the protests, the local authorities are now under pressure to address the ongoing power supply issues. The situation highlights the gap between government assurances and the actual experiences of the people in Patna.

- Protests occurred after a full day without electricity.
