Power cuts have become a prevalent phenomenon in Sindri, which used to remain illuminated at all times earlier during the heydays of Fertilizer Corporation of India. The town that faced a power failure caused by a cable puncture on Monday morning got the electricity back on Tuesday night, after 36 hours of outage.
On Wednesday morning, residents faced a similar situation before the power was restored at around noon.
The problem has its roots in the lack of coordination between stakeholders, including the Fertilizer Corporation of India (FCI), Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL) and Hindustan Urvarak and Rasayan Limited (HURL).

Alt head: Sindri traders concerned over damaged roads
Traders in Sindri, including the shopkeepers of the Saharpura market of the fertiliser town, are happy over the installation of street lights by the Dhanbad Municipal Corporation in the market complex. The traders were, till now, compelled to do business in the dark after sunset due to the lack of light.
However, they are still concerned about the dangerous conditions of the roads, particularly the main road from Mayur Gate to Rodha Bandh in Sindri. The stretch from Mayur Gate to Sindri Police Station has developed a number of potholes, leading to chances of accidents there.
