Power Restored in Maduravoyal After Major Cable Faults
Power supply was disrupted in Maduravoyal, Alapakkam, and nearby areas around midnight on Friday due to multiple faults in 33kV underground cables. The initial fault occurred on the Koyambedu–Maduravoyal feeder, followed by issues in the JJ Nagar and Chinmayanagar feeders.
Emergency repairs were launched immediately. Power began to return by 8:50 AM Saturday and was fully restored by 10:30 AM in Maduravoyal. TNPDCL rerouted supply through alternate feeders from JJ Nagar, Karamabakkam, and Koyambedu Market, with additional support from Alapakkam, Ashtalakshmi, Navy Quarters, Booster, and VRW.
The restoration was led by Chennai West SE P. Chitra and Anna Nagar EE S. Anbarasu. TNEB Chairman J. Radhakrishnan monitored the situation from the Chennai Electricity Distribution Control Room, ensuring uninterrupted power was re-established.
