Bengaluru residents should prepare for power outages on February 28 as the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) undertakes emergency maintenance to improve the city's power supply. The scheduled power cut will occur from 10 AM to 1 PM and is being managed by the Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) at the 66/11 kV Padmanabhanagar Substation.

BESCOM advises affected residents to make necessary arrangements ahead of time. The following areas will experience power interruptions:

- Banagirinathar, Jayanagar 7th Block, and Banashankari 2nd Phase
- Surroundings of BDA Complex and Saroja Complex
- Rajivnagar, Padmanabhanagar, Yarabnagar, Tata Silk Farm, and Shastrinagar

Traffic Restrictions at Kadubeesanahalli Junction

In a separate matter, Bengaluru traffic police have announced a week-long traffic restriction at Kadubeesanahalli Junction to alleviate congestion at this busy crossroads. This restriction will mainly impact routes heading to Kariyammana Agrahara, an area notorious for heavy traffic delays.

Should the trial period prove successful, these restrictions may become permanent. Motorists are encouraged to consider alternative routes through Devarabeesanahalli Junction and Sakra Hospital Main Road to avoid congestion. These changes aim to facilitate smoother traffic flow and reduce delays in the vicinity.

Both residents and commuters are urged to plan accordingly and stay informed on updates regarding power supply and traffic regulations.
