Bengaluru Power Shutdown: Residents in several parts of Bengaluru will continue to experience scheduled power cuts until November 23, with the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) announcing shutdowns to facilitate urgent maintenance work. The utility has advised consumers in the affected areas to plan their routines accordingly to minimise inconvenience.
In its statement, BESCOM confirmed that the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) is undertaking emergency repairs at the Soladevanahalli Sub-Station. Officials explained that the facility has developed technical faults requiring immediate intervention. Engineers are working to replace damaged components, reinforce feeder lines, and stabilise the electricity supply across the region. As a result, areas under the N-9 Sub-division of the Jalahalli Division will face daily outages between 10:30 am and 8:30 pm until November 23, as per reports.
KPTCL emphasised that the work cannot be delayed, warning that postponement could lead to larger breakdowns or equipment failures. The shutdown is also necessary to ensure safe working conditions for maintenance teams and to prevent unexpected grid disturbances during peak demand.
