The residents said that such a situation has caused frustration and inconvenience for them.

Local shop owners, students, and families said they have been facing immense hardships from the last three days, adding that the students are finding it hard to study in the evening hours while the shopkeepers close down their shutters early due to non-availability of electricity.
