Angry Bangalore will face 6 hour power cut!!


Just read the news..

Here's an excerpt:
Quote:
However, that’s not all. In case the rain situation does not improve, Bangalore could face power cuts lasting over six hours.
Source

In the TV, they say even other major cities/villages in karanataka will face the same

Hey guys.. Himachal is jannat.. no power cuts.. not even once a month.. they will notify people one day before when they want to shut down electricity supply regarding repairs.. and man the rate of electricity is cheap too.. 70p upto 150 units.. >150 units is 90p.. i don't get more than Rs. 300 bill of two months.. even though I run my PC 18-20 hrs a day..

Luckily I'm out of Bangalore for the next few days and we do have power here round the clock. Though no computer here but I got my mobile, so things are ok.

Oh...powercuts everywhere.
Here in my place electricity goes off for atleast 7 hours.
5:30 to 9:15 in the morning, again from 1pm to 5pm, and sometimes 10 to 11:30 in the night. The timings are flexible.
