Residents across several parts of Chennai should prepare for a temporary disruption in electricity supply on Thursday, June 11, as scheduled maintenance and infrastructure work are planned across select distribution zones.
Power supply is expected to remain suspended between 9 AM and 2 PM in the notified areas. However, officials have indicated that service may resume earlier if maintenance work is completed before the scheduled timeline.
Why Is Chennai Facing a Scheduled Power Shutdown?
