The SRM Regional Company Scandal in Casablanca… Ongoing Power Outages Spark Outrage Among Residents of Farah al-Salam!

Residents of the Farah al-Salam neighborhood in the Hay al-Hassani district of Casablanca are experiencing deep frustration and anxiety due to the ongoing power outage that began yesterday evening, which has brought daily life to a complete standstill and damaged household appliances, in addition to price gouging, with the price of candles rising to 30 dirhams per candle.

This situation poses a grave threat to the health and lives of patients residing in the neighborhood who rely entirely and continuously on electric oxygen and ventilator machines in their homes.

In an attempt to address the situation, the Regional Multi-Service Company (SRM) resorted to using a portable generator to temporarily restore power.

However, this solution remained limited and unable to meet the needs of the entire population; with some residences now facing the strange paradox of half the residents having access to electricity while the other half remains plunged into total darkness, awaiting a permanent repair of the fault.
