Thane reels under Darkness
Residents in the Thane station area in Thane were panicked by the unannounced power cut that occurred recently. The area experienced complete black out on Friday. The sudden power cut caused much inconvenience to the commuters and shopkeepers. Many shopkeepers have to shut down their business early in lieu of the power cut. Entire areas from Thane market lane up to Jambhli naka were shrouded with darkness as the distribution company failed to restore power supply.
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd (MAHADISCOM) officials have said that the disruption was mainly due to the shutting down of a sub-station near Colour Chem company. The sub-station was reeling with overload of power supply and had to be shut down for some time. They added that power will be diverted from a different sub-station in an effort to restore the supply .
