Overview
- A short video shared on X by the handle rameshofficial0 went viral showing a woman from Sector 8, Ulwe, breaking down as she said nightly power cuts left her unable to sleep for about a week.
- The woman says electricity typically goes out around 11 PM and returns around 4–5 AM, forcing her to seek shelter at the local electricity office and to carry a pillow there in protest.
- Social media users responded with sympathy and calls for the local utility to fix the problem, and several people posted similar accounts of recurring outages in the area.
- Major outlets reproduced the clips but reported they could not independently confirm the outages’ technical cause, exact duration, or how many households were affected.
- Coverage places the clips against a backdrop of high heat and rising demand that can strain local supply, and the videos could increase pressure on authorities to provide clearer answers and fixes.
