Preparing for the Scheduled Power Cuts

Residents and businesses in the listed areas are advised to plan their activities accordingly. It is recommended to charge essential devices like mobile phones, power banks, and laptops in advance. Those working from home or relying on electronic equipment should make necessary backup arrangements.
The authorities have provided the specific timings, indicating the expected restoration of supply by 5:00 PM in Whitefield and 6:00 PM in Soladevanahalli. However, residents should be prepared for the possibility of delays beyond the announced window.
