UPS cries up

Day by day load shedding goes up in Sivakasi, the power situation has worsened significantly in the last few days. Power cut around 20 hours a day led the UPS charge less in all the houses of Sivakasi. UPS, the only relief during power cut time, are also helpless, now and making annoying noise continuously. Even the Uninterrupted Power Supply Inverters also interrupted, due to power outage. Mr.Kalirajan, a Sivakasi resident said sivakasiweekly.com that, Last week I bought a new UPS and battery for my home for Rs.21,000, but unluckily due to power outage, the batteries were weak in a week. Now the UPS cries up throughout the day. Think twice before buying UPS at this time, he added. It seems Sivakasi will continue to struggle with 22 hours power cut a day in the coming days. The power outage giant take us back to stone age. Its time to use hand fans and mosquito mats.
