3 days without power in 770031 (Kalunga), while Industrial units stay lit. Are we secondclass citizens?

I am writing this out of sheer frustration. For the last 3 days, our area in Kalunga (770031) has been living in the dark. No electricity.

It is 2026, and we are being treated like we don't exist. While 10000+ residents are suffering in this unbearable heat, the nearby industrial units haven’t seen a flicker of power cut. It feels like we are living in a third-world country where the comfort of industries is prioritised over the basic survival of citizens.

To make matters worse:

No electricity, no LPG: Our lives are completely paralyzed.

The 'Heat Stroke' Reality: I went to get petrol two days ago, and the queue was so long in this scorching heat that I nearly collapsed.

The 'Tata' Failure: Isn't privatisation for better management? After the electricity distribution was transferred to a private player (Tata). But honestly? It has gone from bad to worse. What is the point of privatisation if the common man still has to beg for basic amenities?

The heat outside is unbearable, and staying inside is like being trapped in an oven. Are we just second-class citizens? Does anyone in the administration even care about what’s happening in Kalunga?
