The Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has announced scheduled power shutdowns across several areas of Kashmir on October 13, 15 and 17 for maintenance work on 132 kV transmission lines and grid station switchyards.
On October 13 and 15, areas served by the Pattan grid station, including Pattan town, Gulmarg and adjoining areas, will face outages from 9 am to 3 pm due to work on the 132 kV Delina-Pattan and Pattan-Amargarh circuits. On October 15, areas connected to the Vilgam grid station, including Keran and Tangdar, will see similar disruptions due to maintenance on the 132 kV Arampora-Vilgam line.
On October 17, power will be cut to areas served by the Magam grid station, including Beerwah and Khag, from 10 am to 3 pm for work at the 132 kV and 33 kV switchyards. KPDCL has advised consumers to plan accordingly.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The scheduled shutdowns affect dozens of towns and villages across three separate dates, requiring residents in areas like Gulmarg, Keran and Beerwah to plan for six-hour outages. The maintenance focuses on high-voltage transmission infrastructure, suggesting KPDCL is undertaking seasonal upgrades before winter. Residents in the listed areas will need to arrange backup power or adjust schedules around the specified timings.
