Acting on behalf of the Muslim community of Udaipur, members of the Muslim Mahasabha urged the State government to restore proper and regular power supply in the month of Ramzaan.
Members of Muslim Mahasabha today, in an open letter to the Chief Minister, demanded that the Muslim Community who is celebrating the Ramzaan month, which is majorly about day long fasting, are upset with the untimely power cut in the city and due to that they are facing difficulties.
Mustafa Sheikh of the Mahasabha said “lame excuses are being given in return of complains to the officials of the electricity department. They say that due to scanty rainfall we running low of the electricity”.
He said that, “Department should make an alternative to sort the problem. He also said that there is no definite time for power cut, sometimes it is for two hours and sometimes even for four hours. He told media that we demand the Chief Minister to order no power cuts in the Holy month of “Ramzaan”
“This time fasts are almost 16 hours long, we don’t even drink water, and over this if lights are cut off then it becomes all the more unbearable,” said another activist of the Mahasabha.
Apart from Muslim Sunni and Shia groups, Udaipur also has a good population of Dawoodi Bohras who are also celebrating the month of Ramzaan and complaining on the same issue of untimely electricity cutoff.
“Not only Muslims, every community in the city is aggressively insisting that the Electricity department must sort out this problem,” said Mustafa Sheikh.
The Muslim Mahasabha presented the letter to the ADM(City), and he assured to inform the higher authorities to take cognizance of this problem.

According to my personal survey from a website, I come to know that the Gulf Countries like Kuwait, U.A.E, Jordan, Bahrain etc which are far more small than India have a good source of Electriciy although in Lack of Hidel Power Plants and Water Power Plants for generation of Electricity…
So why we are facing the Problem of Electricity cut off when we are having many power plants to generate Electricity????????
Why such a problem shud arise as there is quite a good rainfall so far and these power cuts happen only in summer…… why not in winter when also there is no rainfall….. so giving such a vague excuse by Elect. dept is not acceptable.
The state govt shud intervene at this time and come up with solution to kill this genuine griveance.
