DisCO Promises 24-Hour Power Supply After Customers Suspend Planned Protest

Electricity distribution companies (DisCOs) have pledged to improve service delivery and ensure a steady 24-hour power supply following the suspension of a planned protest by customers. The protest, which was organized in response to persistent outages, estimated billing, and poor customer service, had gained traction across several communities.

According to DisCO representatives, urgent measures are being implemented to address key challenges affecting electricity distribution, including infrastructure upgrades, transformer repairs, and improved load management. They also assured customers that efforts are underway to reduce system downtime and enhance response time to faults.

Customer groups confirmed that the protest was temporarily called off after constructive dialogue with DisCO officials and assurances of immediate action. Community leaders emphasized that they will closely monitor developments and may resume protests if promises are not fulfilled.

Energy analysts, however, remain cautious, noting that achieving uninterrupted 24-hour power supply requires not only distribution improvements but also stable generation and transmission nationwide.

The coming weeks will be critical in determining whether DisCOs can meet public expectations and rebuild consumer trust.
