Bengaluru city is likely to witness scheduled power disruptions this weekend, i.e., on Saturday and Sunday, as power supply companies such as the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) and the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) have undertaken several periodical maintenance projects.

The Bescom schedules more outages on the weekends as several employees take leave from work and the overall load on the grid is significantly lighter. (REUTERS)

These works include jungle clearance, arranging power supply to water supply installation under multi village scheme, renovation, modernisation, DTC structure maintenance, line maintenance, shifting cables from overhead to underground, ring main unit maintenance, tree trimming, Jalasiri 24x7 water supply work and underground cable damage rectification, among many others.
