They emphasised that periodic maintenance ensures smooth functioning of the electricity network and improves reliability of the supply to consumers.
The power utility has also appealed to residents and commercial establishments to bear with the temporary inconvenience, assuring that the works will ultimately benefit the public by enhancing the quality of electricity distribution across Coimbatore.
Meanwhile, during a power shutdown, keep essentials ready (charged devices, lights, water, unplug appliances) and stay safe by using natural light, conserving battery, and avoiding open fridge use. Use the time for reading, games, rest, or family bonding until power returns.
