Salem Gets 18-Hour Power Cut Today — TANGEDCO Says 'Maintenance' But Residents Say This Happens Every Week
Residents of Shevapet and Suramangalam in Salem woke up to a power cut at 6 AM today — and TANGEDCO's notice says it will last until midnight. That's 18 hours. The official reason: "feeder maintenance." But locals say this is the 4th time in 3 weeks. No prior notice was given for the previous cuts. Small businesses are losing a full working day. A medical shop owner on Shevapet Main Road said his refrigerated medicines are at risk. A home bakery lost ₹3,000 in spoiled stock. 📍 Affected: Shevapet, Suramangalam Main Road, Five Roads area, Salem. 🔴 TANGEDCO helpline: 1912 How long is acceptable? Tell us in the comments.
