The disruption in power supply in various areas of East Delhi is expected to continue till April 25 as the Public Works Department has requested for extension of the shut-down of 220 KV Maharani Bagh-Gazipur Circuit I and II due to construction of Barapullah flyover Phase-III.
To facilitate the construction, 220 KV Maharani Bagh-Gazipur Circuit- 1 and 2 was first stated to be shut-down from April 2 to 16.
The Delhi Transco limited said load shedding may be experienced in some areas of Delhi, including Mayur Vihar, Patparganj, laxmi Nagar, Vivek Vihar, Dilshad Garden, Yamuna Vihar, Preet Vihar and Geeta Colony.
However, officials said the load-shedding will be done only if necessary on a rotational basis and will not exceed one hour.

“However, in case of any exigency, the load shedding may occur in some areas on rotational basis for not more than one hour at an instance,” said Dr Rishi Raj Bhati, Public Relations Officer of Delhi Transco limited.
The affected areas include Gazirpur, Kondli Gharoli, Dallupura, Madhu Vihar, Group Housing Societies, Pandav Nagar, Shakarpur, Ghonda, Seelampur, GT Road Shahdra, Nand Nagari, Karawal Nagar, Guru Angad Nagar, Kailash Nagar, Kanti Nagar and adjoining areas.
