Residents of Noida’s Sector 105 have been facing persistent electricity supply problems for nearly two weeks, causing inconvenience for several households.
According to residents, many homes have been receiving only two phases of electricity instead of the standard three-phase supply, leading to malfunctioning electrical systems and non-operational lifts in residential buildings.
Residents Complain of Two-Week Power Problem
Around a dozen households in the sector reported that one phase of the power supply has been missing for nearly 15 days.
Rohit Goel, a resident of B-168 in the sector, said the disruption has significantly affected daily life.
“The ongoing power disruption has made lifts in some residential complexes non-functional, causing serious inconvenience to residents, especially elderly people,” he said.
Residents claim that despite repeated complaints to electricity department officials, the problem remained unresolved for several days.
RWA Says Complaints to Helpline Went Unanswered
Deepak Sharma, president of the Sector 105 Resident Welfare Association (RWA), said multiple residents had reported the issue to authorities.
He alleged that calls made to the electricity department helpline 1920 did not receive proper responses.
“Several residents have complained about the missing phase, but meetings with officials have not resulted in any concrete solution so far,” Sharma said.
Power Department Cites Technical Fault
Officials from Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) said the disruption was caused by a fault in one phase of the low-tension underground power line.
Chief engineer Sanjay Kumar Jain said the problem affected only a limited number of houses.
“Our team worked on the issue, and it was resolved by Sunday evening,” he said.
Residents Raise Concerns Over Billing and Faulty Meters
Along with power disruptions, residents also complained about electricity billing issues, including delayed bills, incorrect billing amounts, and malfunctioning electricity meters.
Some residents said that replacing faulty meters can take up to two months, adding to their frustration.
Superintending engineer Vivek Kumar Patel said the department may organise a special camp in coordination with the RWA to address billing complaints and meter-related issues.
However, several residents remain sceptical about quick solutions, citing previous delays in resolving electricity problems.
