Subject: Frequent Power Breakdowns in Green Meadows Colony

Sir,

I wish to draw your attention to the chronic problem of power failures in Green Meadows Colony. Over the past two months, residents have been experiencing daily electricity outages lasting from one to four hours. These frequent breakdowns occur without prior notice and often during critical times—early mornings when children are preparing for school, and evenings when families are cooking or studying.

The irregular supply has caused significant inconvenience: food in refrigerators spoils, electric pumps fail to draw water, and students are unable to complete homework. Small businesses that depend on electricity have suffered losses, and medical devices in several homes have been disrupted, placing patients at risk. Moreover, the absence of street lighting during night-time outages compromises public safety.

I request that the local electricity board and municipal authorities investigate the cause of these frequent breakdowns and take immediate steps to ensure a stable power supply. Installing backup transformers, improving grid maintenance, and providing timely outage alerts would greatly benefit our community.

I trust that you will publish this letter to highlight our plight and urge the concerned authorities to act swiftly.

Yours faithfully,

K Ramnadh
