No power on Tuesday

HESCOM in press release stated that due to maintenance work Belgaum city and also some adjoining rural areas will face a power cut from 9 am to 6pm on Tuesday 15 September 2009.

Hescom resumes Power play for 2 hours

After the acute power shortage in May and June when there was less water in the hydro power plants, now even after all the hydro power plants are full to capacity the state is facing a power shortage and hence a 2 hours power cuts in urban areas & 10 hours in rural areas is being implemented from today.

 

The new time table for the load shedding has been announced.

Belgaum city will face power cuts in two time slots of 9 am to 10 am and 7 pm to 8pm.

Industrial areas will face power cuts 7am to 8am and 6pm to 7pm. 

HESCOM’s power play to continue

Due to some technical fault at the Raichur power plant there is a acute power shortage in the state and the HESCOM’s power play will continue over a few more days.

In fact this time the whole state is witnessing the power play. This is exam time and the students who are preparing for their exams will feel the pinch of the power cuts the most.

The demand in the past week has also risen due to the increase in temperature which now lies in between 28 to 31 Deg C. The demand for fans and even AC’s has seen some increase in the past week.

The Maytas infra connection with Belgaum

Maytas is giving sleepless nights to the officials of Hubli Electricity Supply Company (HESCOM) in Belgaum too.

The HESCOM had awarded the contract to Maytas Infras, for commissioning sub-stations, transmission and distribution lines in Belgaum.

Now, the officials feel that the company may stop its operations at any time. Maharashtra Government’s recent cancellation of Rs 480 crore worth projects to Maytas Infras has made the HESCOM officials think.

Power cuts hits city life

Since Sunday, the city is facing acute power shortage due to some technical snag in the generation units in the state and that is causing HESCOM to cut power for above 5-6 hours daily.
Yesterday there was a power cut of 6 hours and more in some other parts of the city. The worst part is the lights go off at any time hence causing a lot of trouble. The industrial people are hit the most as they have to bear more cuts than the usual 4 hours daily. The generators are back to work and don’t know till when this will last.

Power drought hits Belgaum:6 to 12 hours power cut

Get ready for an almost black out. From today the 12 hours of load shedding will be done in the city. The CM, Yedurappa will make a statement in the assembly today on this and the timetable for the load shedding could be out.

I had thought of this post in the morning but as power was not there, I am posting this in the afternoon.

Belgaum been put under the 12 hours power cut zone but the HESCOM is trying to get it under the 6 hour cut zone. However, sources say that the 12-hour cut is inevitable.

The monsoon has disappeared and the MET dept. who had said for a very good to above average monsoon this time is not making any statements expect to saying that nothing will change in the next 4-5 days. Which literally means no rains?

The people of Belgaum have started calling in the Gods, asking for rain. Many social and religious groups have organized prayers and havans so that the rain god comes back.

May what it is, even if Singh really becomes the King tomorrow or the Left win the wrong battle in your town its going to be a bit a dark a bit earlier.

Candle making industries are working over night to make up for the orders they have. Kisika Fayda Kisika Nuksaan, Ye he reeth hai Zindagi ki.

Be prepared to be in the dark or pray to the Rain God to come earlier.
