How To Tackle Power Shutdown In Chennai
Chennai continues to witness scheduled power shutdowns as part of TANGEDCO’s maintenance work, often leaving households and businesses grappling with temporary disruptions. While the outages are usually announced in advance, the inconvenience can be felt across daily life, especially during the city’s humid weather.
Officials advise residents to stay prepared by planning their day around the shutdown hours. Many households choose to charge phones, laptops, and emergency lights in advance, while also storing enough water since electric motors remain non-functional during the outage. Food safety is another concern, prompting families to cook or refrigerate perishable items before supply is cut.
During the shutdown, residents rely on natural ventilation, hand fans, and battery-operated lights to cope with the heat and darkness.

In Chennai on Saturday, the IMD said, “One or two spells of light to moderate rain with thunderstorm and lightning are likely to occur in some areas.”
