Coimbatore residents should get ready for a planned power cut on Friday, December 12. The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) will turn off the electricity in several parts of the city to carry out its routine monthly maintenance work. This is a standard practice followed every month in different districts
to keep the power system safe and running smoothly. TNEB has already released the list of areas that will be affected, so people can prepare in advance.
Power Shutdown Timings
The power supply will be stopped from 9 am to 4 pm.

These steps help reduce sudden breakdowns and improve the reliability of the electricity network.
