# Two-day power shutdown hits six south Kashmir villages 2026-11-09T16:49:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Power supply will be cut for five hours on 10 November and 14 November across six villages and adjoining areas in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district, the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has announced. The 33 kV Wanpoh-Qaimoh transmission line will be shut from 10 am to 3 pm on both days to allow maintenance work. The affected localities are Qaimoh, Khudwani, Redwani, Ghat, Rehpora and Matalhama. The Chief Engineer, Distribution, KPDCL confirmed the schedule. Residents have not been offered an alternative feeder during the shutdown. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The two-day shutdown affects six named villages plus adjoining localities in Kulgam, meaning several thousand households will lose power on working days in mid-November. KPDCL has stated no alternative feeder arrangement, so residents must plan around the 10 am to 3 pm window. The five-hour gap is short enough that perishable cold-chain and electric water pumps will be disrupted but not crippled. What remains unresolved is whether the transmission-line work will finish in the two allocated days or require extension, which KPDCL has not addressed. The corporation has not named the contractor or the scope of work, leaving residents with no timeline beyond the published dates. ## Coverage - kashmirlife.net Leads with official KPDCL schedule and dates, no resident impact or criticism This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
