Users were shocked by the Goa power department’s honest comments. ‘What?’ a user asked, to which the account’s administrator responded, ‘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.’
The possibility of the Goa power department’s Twitter account being hacked was even considered by Twitteraties. ‘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.’ the employee tweeted.
