Filmmaker and actor Pooja Bhatt took to social media to highlight how parts of Maharashtra have “plunged into darkness” due to no electricity supply for the last 56 hours. She called out the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation (MSEDCL) on Twitter for their ‘substandard service’ and ‘zero accountability.
In a series of tweets, the Bombay Begums star wrote, “@MSEDCL How do you expect people to cope through a pandemic with no electricity for 56 hrs? Is this not an essential service? Countless homes and entire villages have been plunged into darkness. Your rates are sky high with zero accountability & no service @CMDMSEDCL @JMD_KONKAN.”
She also brought the issue to the notice of Maharashtra’s Energy Minister Nitin Raut and mentioned how areas such as Raigad and Vasai face 6-8 hours of power cut daily. “Respected @NitinRaut_INC are you aware of the gross negligence and inconvenience caused by @MSEDCL in #Raigad #vasaivirar etc? Countless homes & entire villages plunged into darkness for 56 hrs. Regular power cuts for 6-8 hrs daily. Rates are sky high yet extremely understaffed,” read Bhatt’s tweet.
Pooja Bhatt mentioned that she has spoken on behalf of “countless people who have no voice” and cannot question MSEDCL for their poor services despite high price.
