Amid the current power and coal crisis, many areas in Bengaluru will be facing massive power cuts for hours today.
The coal shortage and power crisis in India has had an impact on several states across the country, with power outages being introduced in cities to control coal consumption. A similar situation is being experienced by the citizens of Bengaluru, Karnataka.
As the coal shortage in Karnataka is getting worse with each passing day, the Bengaluru administration has decided to impose power cuts in several parts of the city today, October 13. The state government has also issued a list of places and the timings of the power cuts today.
The power cuts are being imposed in Bengaluru just a day after Karnataka Chief Minister Basvaraj Bommai announced that there is a coal shortage in the state, and requested the central government to increase their supply of coal in the next few days.

Other states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi have also communicated that they are facing an acute shortage of coal which might result in a state-wide power crisis if the coal demands are not met soon. The Centre, however, has said that the situation of a power crisis is unlikely to arise.
