Many areas in Bengaluru might face power cuts on today and tomorrow, i.e., Saturday and Sunday as the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KTPCL) will be carrying out several maintenance works, data uploaded onto the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company's (BESCOM) website indicated.

The BESCOM schedules more maintenance and repair projects on weekends as the grid's load is significantly lighter. (HT Photo)
