Led bulbs  to last 3 years

Three led bulbs were supplied to each household with great fanfare. It was
meant to reduce the electric consumption and thus an attractive computation
of  energy saving proposal was highlighted. The households were assured  of
replacement of the defective, non functional bulbs within 3 years. The
replacement was handled by the distant Electric Department , making it most
inconvenient for consumers to get replacement. Any replacement should have
been necessarily made available in local electricity offices., The
consumers are directed to seek the   assistance from the central place
without being aware of the actual sitation of repalcement. The counter
handling replacement has  been  disbanded soon after, The replacement will
depend as when the stock are received from the supplier, we rare informed.
But the Dept is not even  maintaining any records of needed replacement, if
the supplier has to act. .It was shocking revelation  when very  casually
questioned on the box of the bulbs, It was  surprising that boxes are not
saved  by most  recipient and a deliberate, good excuse to deny the
replacement. .Nowhere, whether written or oral was ever conveyed  to
preserve the containers for replacement.

The frequent fluctuations, surges in current, disconnections of supply are
bound to effect o the life span of these bulbs. The quality of  LED bulbs
supplied is highly suspect, as many consumers have lost bulbs quite early,
forget about the 3 years guarantee .There is no doubt that free LED bulbs
are all paid by the citizens by indirect taxes.. The supplier has laughed
all the way to his bank account. Why the condition of replacement by the
authorities is not insisted upon and published publicly for information.
Is  there any doubt that a slice of the profits have found its way into
private pockets to silence them on enforcement clause of replacement .The
answers provided of inability are indication of irresponsibility and
lackadaisical attitude. The Govt. of Goa  enjoyed publicity connected and
earned political mileage with free distribution of led largesse The
defective and non functional  LED bulbs must be replaced as per guarantee
