Adyar Faces Power Cuts Today Due to Maintenance Work

Residents in several areas of Chennai, including parts of Adyar, should prepare for scheduled power shutdowns today, June 5, as announced by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO). The outages, necessary for essential maintenance work, are expected to last from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Specific neighborhoods near Radial Road in Adyar might experience extended downtimes. Power is generally restored after 2:00 PM if the maintenance work is completed on time. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about their local feeder status through the TANGEDCO mobile app, which provides real-time updates on transformer or sub-station status.

In addition to Chennai, cities like Bengaluru and Delhi are also preparing for potential power outages due to high summer demand. In Bengaluru, BESCOM has scheduled maintenance in certain zones for today and tomorrow, while Delhi residents might face brief interruptions as BSES manages the extreme heat loads. These outages typically occur during peak afternoon hours and may happen without much warning.

To report any faults, citizens in Chennai, Bengaluru, and Delhi can use the 1912 helpline. Chennai residents can also register for WhatsApp alerts through the TANGEDCO portal by messaging their consumer number to receive direct notifications about their street. This digital approach aims to minimize daily life inconveniences during the summer months. Residents are advised to keep power banks charged and complete essential tasks like water pumping before the scheduled outages to ensure a productive day despite the temporary power cuts.
