Maheshpur Feeder Power Cut Set for Monday 11 am–3 pm for Cable Shift

Electricity consumers on the Maheshpur feeder drawing from the Kotwa substation are scheduled for a supply shutdown from 11:00 to 15:00 IST on Monday, 7 September 2026, according to local utility tips for the day. The stated purpose is pole and cable shifting where the lines obstruct road-widening work. Four hours off the board is the consumer-facing fact. This is a planned maintenance and shifting window, not a fault outage written after the lights fail.
Areas named with the feeder notice include Maheshpur GT Road, the Kotwa mode stretch, Baulia, Bhitari, Shaktipuram Colony and the Pashiana Gali vicinity. Residents and shopkeepers in that cluster should treat Monday late morning through mid-afternoon as a no-supply window unless the division posts a last-minute deferment. This desk is publishing the tip as a service brief. It is not a substitute for the formal Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran / local electricity office circular if one is pasted at the substation gate.
Road widening is the reason attached to the shift. Poles and cables that sit in the widened carriageway alignment have to move before civil work can proceed cleanly. That is ordinary distribution practice. It still leaves homes, clinics and small shops on the feeder planning around a fixed four-hour cut.
The timing — 11 am to 3 pm — sits inside the working day. Households that need refrigerated medicine, and commercial users who need continuous power for billing or cold storage, will want backup ready before 11:00. The utility tip does not list generator support. None is invented here.
This shutdown is distinct from flood-related cuts reported earlier in the Salarpur belt. Monday’s Maheshpur feeder window is a road-project cable shift. Mixing it with inundation outages would mislead readers about cause and duration. Kotwa substation and Maheshpur feeder are the precise electrical identifiers in the tip. Hold those names.
If the division finishes early, supply can return before 15:00. If shifting runs long, the cut can hug the full window. Consumers should assume the full four hours until lights actually return. Complaints during the window belong to the local electricity office that owns the feeder, not to a newsroom.
For a thin but honest service alert, the publishable spine is short: Monday 7 September, 11:00–15:00 IST, Maheshpur feeder, Kotwa substation, pole and cable shifting for road widening, affected pockets as named above. No political colour. No flood link. No claim that every lane off GT Road is on the same transformer.
Readers in Maheshpur, Kotwa, Baulia, Bhitari, Shaktipuram and Pashiana Gali should plan the middle of Monday accordingly. When the poles have been shifted and the feeder is re-energised, the notice expires. Until then, the four-hour Kotwa–Maheshpur window is the operational fact for that slice of the city’s map.
