India Today
The official handling the Twitter account of Goa Electricity Department got seemingly frustrated after a flood of questions were asked about the duration of blackouts. "I am also a consumer like you," he tweeted.
I also have no lights and would be anytime fadding away from you all until supply restored and mobile and laptop charged, a seemingly frustrated employee wrote on Goa Electricity Department’s Twitter handle after the account flooded with questions about the duration of the blackout on Monday.
The tweets were later deleted. However, a user later posted the screenshots of tweets from his account.
The Goa power department continued to surprise the users with candid responses. “What?” a user wrote, to which the official handling the account replied, “Why What??? or why surprise??? I am also a consumer like you now out of office but only a dept person on Twitter. No special service to me I go through the same route as you all to find better solutions and to pass it on if any.”
Twitteraties even considered the possibility of the Goa power department’s Twitter handle being hacked. However, the employee tweeted, “I do not think a hacker would work so late to lose his sleep & interact with you all in a pleasing way & providing correct info. They hack to cause destruction of some kind. No hack here pls note.”
Fierce winds caused by thunderstorms caused a lot of power cuts last night in Goa. According to the electricity department, supply was restored in many areas by the morning.
