Unscheduled power cuts at night

Residents of some parts of Chennai have been experiencing unscheduled power cuts from 10 pm to 1 am. This has been happening over five days now.

‘It disturbs the sleep. Even if they cut power for four hours in the morning, it wouldn’t matter. But with children and elderly people at home, it is difficult, when TNEB cuts power during the night’, said a resident of Kodambakkam. ‘Severe voltage fluctuations in their area had affected the functioning of the air conditioner and the fans too, and now there unannounced power cuts to boot’, a Ram Nagar resident said.

‘Unscheduled po­wer cuts had been imposed at night in Koda­mbakkam, Virugamba­kka­m and Vela­chery for the last few days due to a fault in the 110 KV line between Guindy and Velacherry substations. “The fault has been rectified and normal power supply will be restored from tonight’, said a TANGEDCO official.
