# Gorakhpur power cut for 4 hours on 13 October 2026-10-12T22:51:11+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Gorakhpur will face a four-hour power cut on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, from 11 am to 3 pm due to road widening and line shifting work. The outage will affect areas supplied by the Durgabari and Raptinagar New substations, including Hanumant Nagar, Rail Vihar, and Karim Nagar. The electricity department has advised consumers to complete essential tasks such as filling water before the shutdown. Supply will be restored as soon as the work is finished. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The scheduled four-hour shutdown affects multiple residential colonies served by two substations, meaning thousands of households will lose power during peak daytime hours. The department's advance notice allows residents to prepare, but those relying on electric water pumps or work-from-home setups face disruption. Restoration timing depends on completion of the road and line work, leaving no guaranteed resumption time beyond the stated window. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight factual report of scheduled power cut with no commentary or slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
