Power cut today Chennai: safety tips for lifts and pumps
Before shutdowns, top up water tanks and charge devices and inverters. Switch off lifts, water pumps, and heavy appliances during the window. Restore them only after supply stabilises to avoid surge damage. Crews may re‑energise feeders earlier than 2 pm, so treat equipment and lines as live.
