Imagine if the lights and everything that uses electricity in your house suddenly stopped working.

The people in charge of the power lines, called BESCOM and TNEB, are doing important work to fix and improve things.
Because of this, some areas will have no electricity for a few hours.
In Bengaluru, some places will have no power from 10 am to 3 pm, or sometimes until 5 pm.
In Chennai, the power will be off from 9 am to 2 pm.
The power companies will try to finish the work as quickly as possible so the lights can come back on!
Bengaluru and Chennai residents will experience scheduled power outages on August 20, 2025.
