State Shiv Sena President Dimpy Kohli said unscheduled power cuts had made life "hell" for people during the hot summer months. "Without electricity in several parts of the city for 3 to 4 hours it is very difficult to live when mercury is going up upto 45 degrees," he said.

He alleged that promises of uninterrupted power supply made by the BJP-PDP government are now proving to be hollow slogans.

"When people are paying their electricity bills in time then why is power department resorting to unscheduled power cuts," he asked.
