ELECTRICITY PROBLEM

28.11.2008.

 

In the recent few days Palilula Municipality has faced the problem of lacking electricity. In certain parts of the Municipal area of Palilula the citizens did not have electricity for more than 36 hours. It was especially bad situation for the old, the disabled but also made the work in educational institutions impossible in the afternoon hours. The regular work and activities of Palilula Municipality was also blocked in this way. The management of the Municipality contacted the authorities of E.D. Jugoistok -  `Elektrodistribucija` Nis and demanded the urgent solving of this problem. The public was informed much later over media that the damage was repaired at 35.KW transformer station near Staro groblje (old town cemetery) and that the normalization of the electricity supply could be expected. Palilula Municipality Council criticized the present situation as one of the inappropriate situations and demanded the responsibility from the management of `Elektrodistribucija` Nis. In this way we would like to emphasize the role of local self government in solving the issues of local communities, as well as in the improvement in all life areas. For this matter, full coordination in certain crisis situations is necessary including institutions, public communal enterprises, that are not under municipal authority, so that these problems, that emerged like this and disturb normal way of living, would be solved.
