CHENNAI: Scheduled power cuts may occur for a few hours when maintenance work is carried out from Saturday, Minister for Electricity, Prohibition and Excise V Senthil Balaji said on Thursday. The work will be carried out for 10 days in specific divisions across the State, which may cause power outages of 2-3 hours in the respective areas. The schedule of the maintenance work will be announced in advance, the minister added.
“The previous government (AIADMK) did not carry out maintenance work for nine months, which has led to this situation. They didn’t procure spare parts and required equipment either,” Senthil Balaji said, adding that this has caused power cuts in some areas.
