We have Computer, Internet, Facebook, Twitter, Mobile phone and what else. And what for these gadgets without electric
power- a Kerala facebookian laments. This bewail
would soon turn into an outburst or even clash
because of power failure that disappoint football aficionado in the
State as they would miss the FIFA World Cup matches.
According to the scheduled load shedding, power cuts of duration of 45
minutes to one hour daily take place between 6.30 p.m. and 11.15 p.m. in
different parts of the state. In all, 24 matches of the FIFA World Cup are
being played at 9.30 p.m. (Indian time), which includes two quarter final
matches. Given the load shedding schedule, many may not be able to watch the
matches unless back up power supply or generator is available.
In most cases people watch TV only when there is no power cut. Though
the load shedding schedule is informed in advance, consumers are annoyed with uninformed
power cuts. And any such occurrence during the live telecast of World Football
would take fans to nearby KSEB offices which would, no doubt, turn into
unprecedented incidents this time.
