Lucknow, 24 July: As per the information, power cut at 2 pm on Tuesday in the court premises of Lucknow was not restored properly till Wednesday morning forcing lawyers to work in heat and humidity.

In the last 24 hours, the power supply in Kaiserbagh area was interrupted several times. During this time, the power system was interrupted due to a wire breakage in the court and it could not be fixed till 11 am on Wednesday. The lawyers tried to talk to the junior engineer and employees of the electricity department but their phones kept showing busy.

Yagya Mani, who is contesting for the post of senior vice president of Lucknow Bar Association, said that the power supply has stopped in the court premises itself. Due to this, the fans installed in the chambers of the lawyers have stopped. Due to which there is an atmosphere of extreme heat and humidity. The lawyers are facing difficulty in working. He contacted the sub-centre but no responsible officer came there in the morning.

He said that if there is such a long power cut, it will hinder the work. In view of this, he called the Executive Engineer to complain but his phone was not reachable. In the interest of advocates, the power supply should be restored soon. So that the advocates do not face any difficulty in getting up and sitting.

Advocate Vinay Kumar Tiwari in the civil court said that it rarely happens that the power supply does not start after some time of power cut. On Tuesday, the power supply stopped and has not come till now. There is a very humid atmosphere in the cloudy weather. In this, the condition of the Collectorate and the court premises is getting worse due to the power cut.

He said that the responsible people of the electricity department should fix such problems as soon as possible. Like the court, the problem of power cut is seen in other parts of the city as well, it should also be fixed.
