Verify live before planning lifts, pumps, or medical procedures. Dial the 24x7 helpline 1912 for feeder restoration estimates. Check @NammaBESCOM on X for on‑ground updates. The BESCOM Mithra app shows scheduled and unscheduled outages. Urja Mitra also lists utility‑submitted shutdowns for cross‑checks and alerts.
Charge phones, routers and power banks before 10 am. Run water pumps early to avoid dry tanks. Avoid elevator trips near start windows and use stairs where possible. Protect appliances with surge protectors. Working from home, keep offline copies and a tether backup. Users of critical medical devices should test batteries or consider temporary alternatives.
Restoration is feeder wise, so some streets may return earlier. If a cut exceeds the announced window, raise a ticket and record complaint numbers. Expect roster refreshes by midday if crews face delays. Monday’s 11 am to 3 pm cuts target the Govindapura–Hegde Nagar belts; recheck timings tomorrow morning.
