Sharjah fumes as power fails again

Sharjah: After a month's respite Sharjah's notorious power cuts are back again affecting the huge industrial districts which are home to thousands of families and businesses.

Residents complained of more power cuts on Tuesday morning.

On Monday, the power outages reportedly lasted up to eight hours at a time; sending desperate residents to the rooftops at night for some respite from the heat.

Levita, who is pregnant and expected to deliver a baby in five days, lives in Industrial Area 11 near the National Paints factory.

Levita said the power cut started at 8am on Monday morning and by 3pm it had not been restored. "I am supposed to take care of my blood pressure and this heat is pushing it up," she said, raising her voice.

Levita said she was considering suing over the power cuts. Her mother said she is using a hand fan to cool her daughter down.
