Besides Boat Club road, other areas that will face power outage from 7am are Tadiwala road and Dhole Patil road. Naidu hospital on Raja Bahadur mill and Wadia hospital will remain unaffected, the release added.

Power supply will be restored by around 6pm. Around 8,000 households are likely to be affected. The decision to replace power transformer on Saturday instead of Thursday was taken keeping in view the exam season and many working from home, said MSEDCL officials. There are many offices providing IT services located in this area.

The MSEDCL press release stated that of the six high tension lines, five will be non-functional during the transformer replacement. The sixth line will remain operational to provide power supply to Naidu and Wadia hospitals.
