Hot days ahead for Hyderabadis, massive power cuts likely
The severe power cuts in the greater Hyderabad made this Sankranthi a terrible season for residents of many areas in Greater Hyderabad as they had to undergo severe power cuts for hours.
Hyderabad: The severe power cuts in the greater Hyderabad made this Sankranthi a terrible season for residents of many areas in Greater Hyderabad as they had to undergo severe power cuts for hours.
In some very unfortunate areas the power cuts period even exceeded for more than four hours on Thursday. The situation was slightly better on Friday.
“We had not imposed official power cuts. The threads of kites fall on the power line, leading to tripping. It is somewhat time-consuming to remove the threads and restore supply,” said Satish Kumar, chief engineer, Metro Zone. Officials have made it clear that the power demand in summer would be higher than anticipated.
“Due to severe atmospheric changes, the summer will be hotter. If that is the case, the consumption will be more. So people in the city should be ready for four-hour power cuts, which will be imposed from mid-February. In the rest of Telangana, it could be six hours or even more,” a senior official of SPCDCL said.
