Things To Do During Power Shutdown 

As the city braces for planned power shutdowns in several areas, authorities urge residents to prepare in advance to minimize disruptions and maintain safety during the outages.

To begin with, ensure all your essential gadgets—such as smartphones, laptops, and power banks—are fully charged well before the power cut. Keep alternative lighting options like battery-powered lamps or LED torches accessible, but exercise caution with candles to avoid fire hazards.

It’s important to unplug sensitive electrical appliances before the outage to protect them from potential power surges when electricity is restored. Switching off main switches can help avoid damage and ensure safety.

During the blackout, conserve device battery life by limiting non-essential use. Those relying on backup generators or inverters should operate them in well-ventilated spaces to prevent health risks from fumes.

Stay updated through official TANGEDCO announcements for information on outage duration and restoration status.

With thoughtful preparation and awareness, Chennai residents can navigate the scheduled power interruptions smoothly and safely.
