Lights Out in Bengaluru: Scheduled Power Cut to Hit Key Areas on Sunday

Bengaluru residents in several localities will experience a scheduled power outage on Sunday, April 13, 2025, as electricity authorities conduct maintenance work. The disruption, lasting from 11 AM to 3 PM, will affect areas including Vidhana Soudha, Shivajinagar, Miller Road, Jaymahal, Cunningham Road, Benson Town, and surrounding neighborhoods.  

Officials from the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) have assured that the maintenance is essential for ensuring a smoother electricity supply in the future. Residents are advised to plan accordingly, as the outage may cause temporary inconvenience.  

Meanwhile, Bengaluru’s weather has taken a turn, with light rainfall and gusty winds providing relief from the recent heatwave. However, the downpour has also led to fallen trees and minor electricity disruptions in some areas. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts isolated showers and thunderstorms over the next few days.
