Nagpur: In an effort to ensure better quality and uninterrupted power supply in the future, Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL/Mahavitaran) has undertaken an extensive maintenance and repair drive across Nagpur. As part of this initiative, essential technical maintenance and repair works will be carried out on Wednesday, February 11, in the Civil Lines and Butibori divisions of the city.
Keeping in view the ongoing Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) Class 12 examinations that commenced on Tuesday, February 12, power lines supplying electricity to examination centres have been excluded from the maintenance schedule to avoid inconvenience to students.
Due to the strengthening and upgradation of the power infrastructure, electricity supply will remain temporarily suspended in several areas. Mahavitaran has appealed to citizens to cooperate with the power utility during this essential maintenance work aimed at improving the overall reliability of electricity supply.
According to the power utility, in the Civil Lines division, power supply will be disrupted from 9 am to 1 pm in areas including Shambhu Nagar, Tiranga Chowk, Shivalgiri Chowk, Vaibhavnandan Society, Om Nagar, Om Sai Nagar, Arya Nagar, Chaudhary Chowk, Koradi Naka, Goodluck Society and Santosh Nagar.
Similarly, electricity supply will remain off from 10 am to 3 pm in Anant Nagar, SBI Colony, Chaudhary Layout, Gulistan Colony, Madina Masjid area, Aman Imperial Apartment and the Kalbande Hospital vicinity.
In the Congress Nagar division, power supply will be interrupted in the RPTS Road area from 9 am to 12.30 pm. In the Butibori division, electricity supply to the ‘SZ Zone’ on the April Park feeder will remain suspended from 10.30 am onwards.
Additionally, power supply on high-capacity feeders above 33 kV catering to industrial consumers including KEC Lokmat, Nagpur Nagari, Jaiswal Nico and Ishan Casting will be interrupted for one hour only. Notably, these industrial consumers will be informed at least 30 minutes in advance before the shutdown.
