Some of the past power supply interruptions have destroyed consumers’ television sets, radio receivers, refrigerators and other appliances and the customers have nowhere to lodge their complaints. In other instances, customers have had to part way with their perishable consumables such as food or medicines because electricity supply had been interrupted for several hours or even days.
