Why Are These Power Cuts Occurring?
BSES clarifies that scheduled power cuts on March 30th are for preventive maintenance, not due to faults. These proactive repairs to transformers and feeders aim to prevent unscheduled outages and incidents like fires during the peak summer months of June and July. While some areas of Delhi will experience temporary inconvenience, this is a necessary step to ensure a more reliable power supply. Cooperation from citizens is appreciated.
