Some families in Nadawa, Nasinu, have been without electricity since the early hours of Monday, with Energy Fiji Limited yet to confirm when supply will be restored.
A concerned resident has told fijivillage News that when they contacted EFL, they were told the company was aware of the situation and was working to restore supply.
She says food and savouries prepared for Diwali have spoiled, forcing her to throw away a large quantity of food because she was unable to store it in the fridge.
The resident also says families are concerned about their safety, fearing thieves may take advantage of the darkness.
She says they have been charging their phones and other electronic devices at a neighbour's place.
Questions have been sent to EFL.
