Bengaluru: 12-hour power cuts hit several areas till December 19
Heads up, Bengaluru!
BESCOM is rolling out daily 12-hour power cuts (10 am-10 pm) in Byadarahalli and nearby localities through December 19.
It's all part of a major upgrade to the area's power distribution system, so some short-term pain for long-term gain.
Who's affected and what to do
Neighborhoods like Madeshwara Nagar, Prasanna Layout, Hosahalli, Herohalli, Tunga Nagar, Vishweshwara Nagar, Anjana Nagar, Annapoorneshwari Nagar, Sunkadakatte, Nilagiri Hegganahalli and Kodigehalli are on the list.
Residents are being urged to charge devices early, store water before 10am if you rely on borewells, use lifts sparingly in apartments and keep backup power ready if possible.
Businesses should plan heavy work outside outage hours.
Stay updated or report issues
If you need updates or want to report a problem during these outages, BESCOM has set up a WhatsApp helpline for the West Zone at 8277884012.
It's an easy way to stay in the loop while things get sorted out.
