The electricity supply will be affected on February 28 in several areas due to emergency repair work conducted by Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited, said Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM). The 66/11 KV Padmanabhanagar Substation will undergo maintenance work on Wednesday. According to KPTCL’s official website, the electricity will be snapped from 10.00 am to 1:00 pm.

Earlier, electricity was affected in 49 areas in Bengaluru on February 18 when the 66/11 KV Kumbalagod and LR Bande substations were under maintenance. BESCOM urged people to plan their day-to-day chaos to avoid any inconvenience.
Meanwhile, to avoid congestion at Kadubeesanahalli Junction, Bengaluru traffic police have imposed vehicle limits for one week, affecting traffic from the junction to Kariyammana Agrahara.
The traffic police have recognised this junction as a major bottleneck, resulting in sluggish traffic.
An officer stated, “If the trial is successful, the changes will be permanent.”
Motorists travelling from Kadubeesanahalli to Kariyammana Agrahara are advised to make a U-turn at Devarabeesanahalli Junction and proceed on Sakra Hospital Main Road.
