Today’s work links to the 66/11 kilovolt Yelahanka substation, feeding dense residential belts. It also supports key arterial roads and nearby campuses. The shutdown supports equipment upgrades and feeder maintenance, and may be staggered by crew progress. North Bengaluru saw 50 plus localities affected on Thursday, underscoring rolling maintenance across adjoining feeders. Expect traffic signal glitches and lift downtime during windows.
