What To Do During Power Cut? 

Residents are advised to plan accordingly during the shutdown. Essential appliances should be switched off, and backup power arrangements, such as inverters or generators, should be prepared. Water pumps and refrigerators should be managed carefully to avoid damage or loss. Additionally, residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel during blackout hours and ensure proper lighting in homes to prevent accidents.

Meanwhile, with outages typically stretching from morning to late afternoon, people are preparing in advance—charging phones and laptops, storing water, and relying on emergency lamps as refrigerators and Wi-Fi routers fall silent. Many residents step out to malls and cafés with backup power to escape the rising heat, while others use the downtime to finish non-digital work or simply wait out the blackout

The Coimbatore Electricity Board has assured that these temporary shutdowns are necessary to maintain the safety and reliability of the city’s power supply and thanked residents for their cooperation.
