Blackout to continue

Yesterdays post at around 6.15pm was the last post when again there was a black out and power was only back after midnight.

In the morning the same story, now people don’t ask whether the power has failed they ask “You have Power, luck man”.

There were many SMS circulating in the city Saying "Welcome to Maharashtra" the reason being the huge amount of load shedding being done in Maharashtra of about 6-7 hours daily. The same situation or infact something more serious than that is in Karnataka now.

Load Shedding again in Belgaum

10:25 AM Posted by ukmad


As per the Minister for Power, Karnataka the state is facing a severe shortage of power due to the huge increase in demand and hence a 2 hours load shedding is scheduled since yesterday.

Belgaum needs 120MW whereas it is getting 80MW and hence a shortage of 40 MW. In the future, the load shedding time could also be increased.

The worst part is, there is no schedule so it can be dark any time of the day now. Diwali is approaching and this Diwali could be a black out one.
