Power supply from the 33/11 kV Tarna substation in Shivpur will be interrupted for four hours on Thursday 24 September while the electricity department carries out switchgear and feeder-panel maintenance.
The executive engineer, Urban Electricity Distribution Division Varunapar, has notified that the cut will run from 11 am to 3 pm. During that window, supply linked to the Tarna substation will be taken down so teams can inspect and service switchgear and feeder panels. The department said supply would be restored after the maintenance work.
Feeder-wise, the notice points to shorter interruptions of about an hour each on several lines: the Parwati Mill area; Sati Mata; Highway Koirajpur; Bhawanipur; and Pisaur. Households and shops on those feeders should expect a staggered outage pattern inside the four-hour block rather than a single continuous blackout on every street at once, though the exact minute-by-minute switching order sits with the field crew.
Scheduled maintenance cuts are routine after monsoon humidity and load stress on 33/11 kV gear. Varunapar division’s public notice is the cleanest reference for Thursday’s timing. Residents who depend on inverters or small generators for tuition centres, clinics and grocery cold storage usually charge batteries before an announced late-morning window. Lift users in walk-up apartments on the affected feeders should avoid entering lifts close to 11 am until supply is confirmed back.
The Shivpur–Tarna pocket feeds a mixed residential and roadside commercial belt. A four-hour planned cut is disruptive but preferable to an unplanned trip during evening peak.
If the work finishes early, field staff sometimes restore individual feeders ahead of 3 pm; if a fault is found during inspection, restoration can slip. In either case, the Varunapar control room and local complaint numbers remain the channel for live status.
Shops along the highway feeders often run billing machines and weighing scales on single-phase supply; a planned late-morning cut is easier to manage than an evening trip when customers queue. Clinics and pharmacy fridges on the same lines usually switch to inverter backup for the notified window. Residents who work night shifts and sleep late morning should set an alarm before 11 am if they need to charge phones or pump water from overhead tanks.
Any extension beyond 3 pm would need a fresh public update from the Varunapar division. Until then, treat 11 am–3 pm on 24 September as the official Tarna substation maintenance window, with the named feeders — Parwati Mill, Sati Mata, Highway Koirajpur, Bhawanipur and Pisaur — carrying the shorter staggered interruptions inside that block.
