Bangaloreans, take note! Your digital power utility services are about to experience a temporary blackout. The Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) has announced a major technical shutdown that will render most online services unavailable for nearly three days.
When Will the Services Go Offline?
The digital darkness begins on Friday, October 27th at 8:00 PM and will continue until Monday, October 30th at 6:00 AM. This extended outage window is necessary for BESCOM to conduct crucial system upgrades and maintenance.
Which Services Will Be Affected?
During this period, residents won't be able to access several essential online services including:
- Online electricity bill payments
- New connection applications
- Service request submissions
- Complaint registrations
- Other digital transactions through BESCOM portals
Why the Extended Downtime?
BESCOM is undertaking significant system maintenance and infrastructure upgrades to enhance their digital platforms. While inconvenient, this necessary work aims to improve the overall reliability and performance of their online services once completed.
What Should Bengaluru Residents Do?
If you have pending electricity bill payments or need to complete any urgent BESCOM-related work, the clock is ticking. The utility company strongly advises customers to complete all critical transactions before Friday evening to avoid any inconvenience during the maintenance period.
This proactive maintenance approach demonstrates BESCOM's commitment to upgrading their digital infrastructure, though it does mean temporary inconvenience for the tech-savvy residents of India's Silicon Valley.
