I am a resident of Askari 2, Chaklala Scheme 3, Rawalpindi since 1993. One transformer is linked to a couple of blocks of flats. For the past more than a year or so, one phase of electricity goes missing almost on a daily basis thus disrupting the normal life of a number of flat dwellers. There’s a lot of fluctuation as well because of the ‘unprofessional’ manner in which the connectors are attached to the transformer for smooth flow of electricity.
A complaint lodged in the morning is attended to in the evening. Presently, one doesn’t need fans but then there are electrical appliances attached to this disruptive phase of electricity, a few of which got burnt because of the un-professionalism of the IESCO staff.
We, the residents attached to this defective transformer, have requested the complaint staff, the line superintendent, the SDO a number of times to carry out a complete servicing of our transformer but inspite of promises, things have not moved. The oft repeated answer is: requisite replacement stores are not available.
Having exhausted our patience, I find no other outlet but to vent our grievances through your esteemed paper, hoping that the CEO IESCO, federal & state ministers of water & power would order an immediate action against our complaint provided they have their fingers on the pulse of the public.

Same is the case with our street in Chaklala 3. Such fluctuations that one has to switch off everything and one has to keep mains off when going outstation.
