An executive engineer of Mahavitaran turned into ‘Superman’ for thousands of residents of Mulund East, when he single-handedly worked for nearly six hours to restore electricity to them on Wednesday. Mahavitran officials and contract workers were on strike on Wednesday with many other electricity firm staffers all over the state, against privatisation. In the circumstances, Dattatray Bhange himself got to work, detected the broken wires that had caused the power failure, and repaired them alone from around 11 am, restoring power after around 4 pm.
Bhange heads the Mulund Division of the electricity distribution utility Mahavitaran. On Wednesday there was electricity failure at Nanepada, Nilam Nagar and Chintamani at Mulund East. Employees of three state-owned power companies in Maharashtra had declared a strike in the state for three days from Tuesday night. Engineers and senior officers joined the strike. Around 287 staffers from Mulund division were also on strike.
