Patna: Residents of Patna will experience a six-hour power cut on Saturday due to scheduled maintenance work. The disruption will affect several areas, including Bazar Samiti Road, Saketpuri, New Kunj Colony, Bahadurpur Village, Punpun Bazaar, and Kurthaul.
According to the electricity department, the Saidpur power substation will be closed from 11 a.m. to 12 noon for maintenance. This will result in power outages in Bazar Samiti Road, Saketpuri, New Kunj Colony, and Bahadurpur.
Additionally, the supply from the Parsa Bazaar power substation will be halted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., affecting Punpun Bazaar, Kurthaul, West Chhatna, and Pipra areas near the Etbarpur railway line.
