# Jawal faces 3.5-hour power cut for Diwali maintenance 2026-11-02T23:36:33+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Power supply to Jawal town and surrounding villages in Sirohi district will be suspended for three and a half hours on Tuesday, 3 November. The shutdown runs from 7:30 am to 11:00 am for maintenance work at the 33 kV GSS Jawal substation. Jodhpur Discom assistant engineer Hemant Kumar Prajapat said the upkeep is being carried out ahead of Diwali. Technical faults on the line will also be fixed. The affected areas are Jawal, Barloot, Jamotra, Bhootgaon and the Water Works. Prajapat has asked consumers to cooperate and finish any urgent work before the outage. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The three-and-a-half-hour shutdown on Tuesday affects five specific locations, including the town of Jawal and the nearby Water Works. The timing, during the morning cooking and cleaning hours, means thousands of domestic consumers must plan around the gap. Jodhpur Discom has framed the outage as pre-Diwali maintenance, but the notice leaves unclear whether the grid will go offline again ahead of the festival itself. The next point of contact for residents is assistant engineer Hemant Kumar Prajapat, whose office faces any complaints. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight news item with official notice, no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
