Champanagar is currently grappling with an intense heatwave, severely disrupting daily life. Adding to the woes, the erratic power supply has exacerbated the difficulties faced by residents. Frequent power cuts and low voltage issues have become a constant source of frustration for the local population.

With daytime temperatures consistently soaring above 40 degrees Celsius, the absence of electricity renders fans, coolers, and air conditioners useless. Even at night, the intermittent power supply prevents people from getting proper sleep. This situation is particularly challenging for young children and the elderly.

Local residents allege that the electricity department is not taking the issue seriously, with no concrete action being taken despite repeated complaints. One resident expressed, "The heat is unbearable, and there's no telling when the power will come or go. We're spending nights awake, and children's studies are also suffering."

Businesses are also incurring significant losses due to the power outages. Shopkeepers report a direct impact on their trade, as customers avoid staying in shops due to the heat and humidity. Keeping food items and beverages cool is also a problem, increasing the risk of spoilage. Residents are urging the electricity department to resolve the issue promptly and ensure a stable power supply to provide some relief during this severe heat.
