Here are some problems shared by residents of Chandigarh
“It’s utter harassment when the internet goes down right in the middle of a meeting,” said Savita Dhawan of Sector 64, Mohali. Even if there is a backup, reconnecting takes time, and by that time, the story has been lost.”
“Sudden power outages are common throughout the rainy season, with little regard for those working from home,” said Panchkula resident Mayank Gautam. For lengthy outages, having an inverter isn’t adequate; therefore I’m going to invest in a generator.”
