Hyderabad: The citizens of Telangana, particularly those residing in the capital city, find themselves grappling with frequent power cuts in recent days. These interruptions not only impact essential services but are posing a significant challenge for work-from-home (WFH) employees, whose professional commitments rely on uninterrupted power supply.
Addressing the situation, Musharaf Ali Faruqui, Managing Director of Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL), acknowledged on Sunday, January 14, that power cuts of up to 2 hours might become necessary.

He highlighted that these interruptions are part of annual maintenance efforts and preparation for the anticipated surge in power demand during the Summer/Rabi season.
