The Story in Brief
The Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has announced a series of power shutdowns across several parts of the Kashmir division from August 10 to August 30, 2026. The outages, ranging from 8 AM to 2 PM, will affect Handwara Town, Bemina JVC Hospital, Children Hospital, Hajj House, Qamarwari, Barthana, Shariefabad, and adjoining areas on specified dates.
KPDCL cited maintenance work on 33 KV and 11 KV lines as the reason for the shutdowns. Areas including Marathgam, Kulangam, Boatman Colony, Forensic Science Lab, and SRTC will also face interruptions. The schedule lists separate dates for different feeders and lines, with multiple areas affected more than once.
The Indian Opinion
Planned maintenance is necessary, but these serial shutdowns across Kashmir will test patience. The utility announces six-hour cuts spread over weeks, yet residents often face unannounced outages beyond scheduled times. The real test: will KPDCL actually restore power on time, or will these become excuses for longer blackouts? The coming weeks will show if the grid can keep its word.
