Power supply will be disrupted across 15 localities in Bhopal on 15 October for departmental maintenance work. Ashoka Garden, Dashhara Maidan, Transport Nagar, Radhapuram and Sage Mile Stone Colony are among the affected areas. Most cuts run from 10 AM to 4 PM or 10 AM to 1 PM, while Pampapur and Harshwardhan Nagar face a shorter outage from 2:30 PM to 5 PM.
Residents have been advised to make advance arrangements, especially for electricity-dependent work. Power is expected to be restored once the scheduled maintenance is completed. No further outages have been announced.
Tens of thousands of Bhopal residents face a day without power on 15 October. Most cuts run six hours, hitting residential pockets from morning well into the afternoon. The utility scheduled the work for a weekday, not a Sunday or holiday, meaning offices, small workshops and home-based workers in affected areas lose productive hours. No alternate arrangement, generator support, or mobile helpline is mentioned. Residents who rely on medical equipment or stored medicines will need to plan for the full window. Power should return by the listed end time, but the notification offers no backup timeline if work runs over.
