Angry residents rushed to the power sub-station late last night after the entire Chadwaddo and surrounding area was plunged into darkness. The residents could not find any power official at the sub-station as they demanded uninterrupted power supply to their homes, suspecting that the power is supplied to the nearby Nessai Industrial estate at the cost of the common man. A local resident Succoro Gomes told the media that residents of Chadwaddo and neighbouring areas have been facing power outages every day for three-four hours, between 8 pm and 12 midnight.
