The electricity supply here is mostly OK but everywhere gets occasional power cuts and sometimes there are planned cuts in the daytime to ration power on a rota basis. One of the problems the supply company has is the vast number of illegal connections in the slum areas. To solve this, the government have sent in the police and army to remove the connections (see photo) and are offering a cheaper form of legal connector. There were some fights when this first happened, but it seems to have gone quiet now.
To cope with cuts, and the voltage spikes on reconnection, I have surge protectors on anything that matters at home or work. <<...>>
