Attention, residents of Jammu and surrounding areas! A critical power shutdown has been announced by JPDCL, and it’s important to stay informed. Here’s the lowdown on when and where the lights will go out, and why it matters.
On November 15, from 12 noon to 4 pm, Gool, Sangaldan, and Transit Camp Maitra will experience a power outage. But here’s where it gets controversial: the same areas will face another outage on November 16, this time from 10 am to 4 pm, along with Ramban, Chanderkote, and other nearby locations. And this is the part most people miss – the power supply to District Kishtwar (GSS Katersamna and NHPC) will also be affected on November 16, from 9 am to 5 pm.
Now, let’s talk about Shiv Nagar and its adjoining areas. They will be affected on specific days – November 15, 17, 19, and 21 – from 9 am to 1 pm. This scheduled power shutdown is a critical maintenance operation, ensuring the reliability and safety of the power supply in the region.
So, what’s the reason behind these outages? JPDCL has cited maintenance and improvement works as the primary cause. By temporarily shutting down power, they can perform essential repairs and upgrades to the electrical infrastructure, ensuring a more stable and efficient power supply in the long run.
While these outages may cause temporary inconvenience, they are necessary steps towards a more reliable power system. It’s a delicate balance between ensuring uninterrupted power supply and performing essential maintenance.
What are your thoughts on these scheduled power shutdowns? Do you think the benefits of improved infrastructure outweigh the temporary disruptions? Feel free to share your opinions and experiences in the comments below! We’d love to hear your perspective on this critical issue.
