KPDCL has not specified when normal supply will resume after each shutdown, leaving residents and businesses to plan around the outages. The maintenance work covers five transmission lines, suggesting a coordinated effort to upgrade or repair the network ahead of winter, when power demand typically rises. Whether the shutdowns will be completed on schedule or extend further depends on the utility's execution. ## Coverage - kashmirlife.net Straight factual listing of shutdown details from official KPDCL announcement This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
