Power cuts back to haunt Chennaiites?

CHENNAI: After a brief lull during the lockdown, residents of Chennai and its suburbs will once again face power cuts. Tangedco has decided to impose load shedding at regular intervals to carry out maintenance works. However, unlike earlier times, the duration won’t be between 9 am and 5 pm, said official sources from Tangedco.

“Barring a few repair works in transformers and distribution networks, we have not sanctioned permission for suspending power supply during lockdown. But again the load shedding has to be imposed for essential works,” said an official.
