Uttarakhand authorities announced that electricity supply will be curtailed for as long as 15 hours in response to an ongoing dry spell affecting the state.
State officials in Uttarakhand have warned residents that power supply could be reduced for up to 15 hours as the region grapples with an extended dry spell. The announcement, made by the state electricity department, aims to manage the strain on the grid caused by low water levels in reservoirs that feed hydro‑electric plants.
The temporary curtailment is expected to affect several districts, although exact locations and timing have not been disclosed. Residents are being advised to conserve electricity and prepare for possible interruptions during peak usage periods.
Authorities emphasized that the measure is a precautionary step to prevent larger outages and to ensure the stability of the power network until normal water inflows resume.
