Power Failure in Mathar - Qadheem area

Thamizhan's picture

There is Power Failure problem in Al-Mathar Al-Qadheem area for the past 03 weeks atleast and still it's existing. I have called at around 2.00 PM by today the 08.09.2008 & informed about the power cut and I have called again at around 4.30 PM (till that time NO POWER) and I said that I have called before. One gentleman (must be Indian) is telling me that 'Don't tell me lie' and I don't know what's his intention. Why should I tell lie and If that gentleman is sitting in a villa (With the Family) in this summer season without A/C - He will never tell a lie. I don't know whom I should contact and what I can say and How I can express our problem because of the power cut. Being an expatriate - we're left out with lots of limitations. I really don't know howcome 'Kahrama' got the ISO certification and they don't want to listen to the customers. Only the Almighty can save us in this situation. We feel insecured in this Ramadan season thinking of the power and we're not sure when It'll go off & when It'll come back again. This is really strange in gulf region. I request the community to help / addvice / support us to get rid of this issue, atleast by praying and giving moral support.

If you are willing to invest 100.000 Riyals you should build a solar powered independent electric power source. Solar cells, Inverter, batteries, and a diesel generator for the rainy days. No more power cuts. No more electricity bills. Praying will not solve your energy problem.

C'mon, if you have 2 or three or four people who depend on you in terms of transportation and so, you cannot just hop in your car and say, bye, bye. ("Lord, I wish I was single again". Waylon Jennings).

The "luggage" is pretty self determined, my friend. My son is 17, daughter is 15. They haven't yet been introduced to QL. And my wife, who rode a motorbike in Germany for 15 years is a f r a i d to drive a car in Doha. She is a very realistic person.
