Monday was no different.
In Sector 122, RWA president Umesh Sharma complained of an outage from 3am due to a burnt transformer in the D-block. As a result, there was no water supply in the sector on Monday morning. “Without electricity, children could not attend online classes, nor were people able to work from home,” said Sharma.
Sharad Jain, a resident of Kendriya Vihar in Sector 51, had a similar complaint. He said there was no power supply from 3am to 7am. Sunil Wadhwan, a resident of Sector 71, complained of a power cut at 6am.
In Sector 19, RWA president Laxmi Narain said power supply had been unstable since Sunday night. “We received many complaints, which were forwarded to the nearby substation,” said Narain.

NOIDA/GHAZIABAD: Some residents’ welfare associations in Noida have started helping the senior citizens in the city get vaccinated against Covid-19, a task that can be hard for the elderly who may face monetary, technological and commuting issues.
The RWAs are not only helping the recipients register for the jab but also getting them to the nearest hospital for free. In some cases, the RWAs have started bearing the entire cost of paid vaccinations in private facilities.
“We have compiled a list of over 50 senior citizens and those with comorbidities who live in blocks C, D, E and F. We will facilitate their vaccinations at Satya Medical Centre. All costs of the first dose will be borne by the RWA. The medical centre will depute a person to help with the registrations,” said Sanjeev Kumar, RWA general secretary, Sector 51.
