Scheduled maintenance on the 11 kV Ganeshpeth high-tension line will lead to a power outage in several central areas of the city on Friday, June 20, between 9 a.m. and 12 noon. The affected localities include Ganeshpeth, Model Mill Square, Gadikhana, Joharipura, Ram Coolar Square, Jog Galli, Singada Market, Ambedkar Bajrang Library Square, Chandipura, and Mutton Market Square.
Mahavitaran has stated that the shutdown is necessary for routine inspection and has requested citizens to cooperate, assuring that power will be restored promptly after the work is completed. Residents and commuters are advised to take note of this temporary inconvenience, as these essential upgrades are important for ensuring safety and timely completion.
MAHAVITARAN has started urgent repair work on the 11 kV Jankinagar underground cable between Besa Power House Square and Mhalgi Nagar Square to improve electricity supply in South Nagpur. The work involves deep digging along the Ring Road and will require a two-day road closure on Friday and Saturday for the entire stretch between the two squares.
To manage traffic, the city police have announced temporary diversions:
From Besa Power House Square, all vehicles must turn left towards Sant Gajanan Nagar Square, then take a right at New Nehru Nagar Square, and another right to reach Mhalgi Nagar Square.
Traffic from Dighori Flyover and Tanbag Road, usually heading to Mhalgi Nagar, will go under the flyover, turn left at Chamat Chakki Square, move toward Dighori Naka and Jabalpur Highway Square, and continue from there.
Heavy trucks approaching Mhalgi Nagar from Chamat Chakki or Dighori Naka must take a U-turn at Chamat Chakki Square, return to Dighori Naka, and follow the Jabalpur Highway route.
The revised traffic routes will be in place from the morning of June 20 until the evening of June 21. Motorists are advised to plan their travel accordingly and remain patient, as officials have described the repairs as essential infrastructure work.
