Minister R. Nirmalkumar: Power Cuts Attributed to Load Issues, Not Supply Shortages

The Electricity Department has established seven rapid response teams consisting of engineers in Chennai to enhance its service efficiency. These teams have been equipped with vehicles, allowing them to quickly attend to and resolve electrical complaints across the city. This initiative aims to improve response times and address issues related to power outages and maintenance more effectively.

The move comes amid increasing public demand for timely electrical services, especially as the city experiences seasonal fluctuations in power usage. The rapid response teams will facilitate a more streamlined approach to managing complaints, thereby aiming to minimize downtime for residents and businesses alike. The Electricity Department encourages citizens to report any electrical issues promptly to ensure quick intervention by these specialized teams.
