Pune: Amid frequent power cuts across Pune's IT corridor during the recent spell of heavy rain, the Forum for IT Employees (FITE) Maharashtra has urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to immediately upgrade the electricity infrastructure in Wakad, Hinjawadi, Baner, Ravet and nearby areas.

In a letter addressed to Fadnavis, who also holds the Energy portfolio, FITE said repeated and prolonged power outages have caused major inconvenience to residents and IT professionals, especially those working from home. The organisation said uninterrupted electricity has become a critical requirement for Maharashtra's IT sector and sought urgent government intervention.

The appeal comes after heavy rain over the past two days disrupted normal life in Pune. While rainfall intensity persists on Wednesday, intermittent rain and strong winds will continue across the city, leading to occasional power interruptions in several areas.
