Kalyan: Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) staged a protest march to Mahavitaran’s Tejashri office in Kalyan West, demanding an end to frequent power cuts affecting residents of Kalyan East and adjoining rural areas. The demonstration, led by Shiv Sena contact chief and corporator Mahesh Gaikwad, saw a large number of citizens join the protest against the disruption of electricity supply.
Protesters alleged that despite paying their electricity bills regularly, residents were being forced to endure power cuts lasting several hours. They said the frequent interruptions had disrupted students’ studies, affected women’s household chores and caused inconvenience to senior citizens, adding to the frustration of people already struggling with unreliable power supply.

Candlelight protest inside office
In an unusual form of protest, agitated Shiv Sena workers lit candles inside the Mahavitaran office to highlight the difficulties faced by residents during power cuts. They said the demonstration was intended to make officials understand the hardship of people who are repeatedly forced to remain without electricity.
The protesters demanded that the electricity distribution authorities address the problem and ensure a reliable power supply to affected areas.
Gaikwad raises questions over supply
Addressing the issue, Mahesh Gaikwad raised serious questions over the recurring outages and alleged that ordinary consumers were being made to suffer. He questioned whether electricity was being diverted to large industrialists through unauthorised means while ordinary residents were left without power.
The allegation was raised during the protest, but no independent verification of the claim was provided in the information available about the demonstration.
