Around 10 residential localities in Sajapur in Waluj area are living in darkness as nine to ten transformers in this area have stopped working due to the wire burst for the past four days. The Irked residents marched on the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (MSEDCL) on Monday and condemned the working of the company.
