VARANASI: A fresh electricity notice issued on Monday, November 2, 2026, schedules another interruption on the Phulwaria feeder for Tuesday, November 3, affecting Kumharpura, Mayur Vihar and nearby premises supplied from Kotwa substation. The new date follows the November 1 shutdown notice as reported earlier on dalimss.news. This notice sets a separate four-hour working window.
The planned cut runs from noon until 4:00 pm IST. Households and workplaces in the named pockets should finish tasks requiring mains electricity before noon. Where an electric pump is needed for household water, preparing the required supply beforehand is a practical precaution against the scheduled interruption.
The utility also names the area around Markandey Singh Chakki and Harsh Cyber. Residents uncertain whether their connection belongs to this feeder should check with the local electricity office or use 1912. The notice identifies a particular feeder, so proximity to a named landmark alone should not be treated as confirmation that every nearby connection is affected.
What the new notice specifies
The official shutdown post was published at 9:12 pm IST on November 2. It identifies the 33/11 kV Kotwa substation and its 11 kV Phulwaria feeder. The issuing office is the executive engineer of the Madhauli urban electricity distribution division in Varanasi.
The stated work is guarding on the feeder's 11 kV line. The post gives the working period numerically as 12:00 to 16:00. Those figures establish the noon start and 4:00 pm finish, despite awkward morning and afternoon labels elsewhere in the accompanying wording.
- Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
- Scheduled interruption: noon to 4:00 pm IST.
- Network: Phulwaria feeder, Kotwa substation.
- Named pockets: Kumharpura, Markandey Singh Chakki, Mayur Vihar and the Harsh Cyber surroundings.
- Reason: guarding work on the 11 kV line.
The date matters when circulating the message. An older advisory for November 1 concerned the same Kotwa feeder, while also covering separate Nagar Nigam substation work. The new Kotwa notice does not repeat those other feeder assignments. Neighbours sharing the update should retain the November 3 date and Kotwa identification together.
What residents should do
Plan electricity-dependent errands and work around the published four-hour window. If passing the information to a workplace, tenant or neighbour, include the feeder and locality alongside the hours. Someone reading only an old screenshot could otherwise confuse this interruption with the earlier Sunday schedule.
For assistance, the distribution company's official account lists 1912 and 18004101912. Its official service website separately provides links for registering and tracking a 1912 complaint. These are useful routes if a resident needs help identifying the supply area or reporting a continuing local outage.
The linked 1912 consumer portal opens with a consumer sign-in using a one-time password. Residents wishing to use that route can start from the utility's own website. The same site lists bill correction, name correction, address correction and load-change services separately from outage complaints.
The published end time is the scheduled finish of this shutdown. The notice does not provide a later completion report. If power remains unavailable after 4:00 pm, report the actual location and loss of supply to the utility instead of assuming that the whole feeder remains under the original work notice.
Where a continuing grievance can go
The utility also links to the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, whose website provides separate options to lodge a grievance and view its status. It describes the forums as serving consumers supplied, or to be supplied, within their respective areas, according to the nature of the complaint.
For other local service coverage, readers can consult the earlier reports on water and sewerage approvals and the Saket Nagar sewer inspection, along with the Sigra municipal complaints hearing. Those concern separate works and do not alter the November 3 electricity schedule.
