Load-shedding, lasting for almost seven hours at a stretch, has had parents worried as Class X and XII CBSE examinations are currently going on. Delhi power discoms BSES Yamuna and Rajdhani Power Limited (BYPL and BRPL) as well as Tata Power Limited, in the garb of scheduled maintenance, are organising power cuts for the last three weeks.
If that’s not all, Delhiites have to face even longer power cuts, which have been scheduled for 10 and 11 March. Power discoms on Friday informed they have scheduled maintenance work for their transformers, lines and other electrical installations. The areas covered under Reliance-led BSES (Yamuna and Rajdhani) will be more affected by this shortage in supply, in comparison with areas that receive electricity from Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL). In 159 areas that receive electricity from both the BSES discoms, power will be unavailable for approximately seven hours.
Meanwhile, in 67 areas receiving electricity from TPDDL, power cuts are expected to run up to a maximum of seven hours. According to Delhi Transco Limited, BYPL will go on planned maintenance between 10 am to 5 pm on 10 March. Localities facing power cuts as a result will include Chandni Chowk, Darya Ganj, Dilshad Garden, Karawal Nagar, Karkardooma, Krishna Nagar, Laxmi Nagar, Mayur Vihar phase-1 and 2, Nandnagri, Pahar Ganj, Patel Nagar, Shankar Road and Yamuna Vihar.
Similarly, load-shedding on the BRPL-run lines for 10 March, will occur for five to seven hours. Areas affected will include Hauz Khas, Khanpur, R K Puram, Alaknanda, Jaffarpur, Janakpuri, Najaf Garh, Nangloi, Palam, Punjabi Bagh, Saket and Sarita Vihar.
In TPDDL-run areas, residents will have to face major power cuts lasting for four to seven hours on 10 March in areas such as Rohini, Shalimar Bagh, Mangolpuri, Narela, Bawana, Pitampura, Badli, Civil Lines, Shakti Nagar and Model Town. On 11 March, people living in areas where electricity is supplied by BSES discoms will face power cuts for a minimum of seven hours. In areas where BRPL supplies electricity, cuts on 11 March are expected to last between 10 am to 5 pm in the same areas mentioned above.
