Power Outage Alert: MSEDCL and NMC to Shut Down Feeders on June 9 for Maintenance

Residents of Nagpur are advised to prepare for a scheduled power outage on June 9 as MSEDCL and Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) will be conducting essential maintenance work on multiple feeders. The temporary shutdown is necessary to ensure long-term stability and improved efficiency of the city’s power supply network. Localities in both central and outer parts of the city will be affected during specific hours.

Feeder Shutdown for System Upgrade
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), in coordination with NMC, has planned a shutdown of several power feeders across the city to carry out urgent maintenance and upgrades. The activity includes line inspection, transformer checks, and preventive servicing to avoid sudden breakdowns during the upcoming monsoon season.

Power will be suspended in select areas from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, depending on the feeder and workload.

Areas Likely to Be Affected
As per the schedule, areas like Sitabuldi, Dharampeth, Civil Lines, Hanuman Nagar, Sakkardara, and parts of Mankapur may face power cuts for several hours. Some surrounding residential colonies and commercial zones relying on the same feeders are also expected to experience interruptions.

Citizens living in apartment complexes and office spaces are advised to keep backup arrangements ready.

Public Advisory from Authorities
Officials from MSEDCL have urged people to cooperate with the planned maintenance and avoid using lift services or power-reliant medical devices during the notified hours without a proper backup system.

NMC added that this routine servicing is essential to avoid major faults in the coming weeks, especially as electrical loads tend to rise during monsoons due to increased usage of appliances and pumping systems.

Precautionary Steps for Residents
Residents are advised to:

• Charge essential devices in advance
• Avoid running high-power appliances during maintenance hours
• Store water as electric pumps may not function during the outage
• Follow updates from MSEDCL through their local helpline or app

Conclusion
Though the power shutdown may cause minor inconvenience, it is a necessary step to strengthen the city’s power infrastructure. Regular maintenance work helps prevent unplanned blackouts and ensures a safer electricity network. With clear communication from authorities and public cooperation, the city can get through this scheduled maintenance smoothly.
