Is Kolkata plagued by the power cut?

Q: Is it so that the power cut in Kolkata will still continue? I heard that the West Bengal Power Development Corporation will soon prepare a schedule of load shedding in the district so that the people will get to know when they will except load shedding in their area. Why it is so why they are not able to supply proper power to Kolkata?

The Kolkatans are suffering a lot with the power cut problem in the city, large parts of the city like Shayambazar, Ballygunge, Nagerbazar, Tollygunge are suffering more with the powercut for almost an hour or two an a half hour, the powercut is driving the people mad. The state faced a huge short fall after the puja. West Bengal Power Development Corporation will soon provide the loadshedding roaster so that the consumers are prepared for the power cut. The West Bengal Power Development Corporation is not able to supply proper power because the power utilities are going undser several power crunch as the government refuse to revise the tariff as the price of coal hiked.
