The power supply has been erratic with long outages and would continue to be so till Thursday. It is going to take almost three days for the transmission department to fix the tower and get the substation up and running. Phew! Three long days. Meanwhile the power supply would be available intermittently for 12-14 hours. You can check with the RWA (Resident Welfare Association) officials about the timing of outages.
NPCL (Noida Power Company Limited), the power distribution company for Noida and Greater Noida, has started last month an SMS alert service. RWA officials of your society get a message from NPCL about the power cuts in your area. Whether power cut is due to maintenance work, fault in the transmission lines, breakdown of distribution transformer or short supply you would be informed through an SMS. In fact power cuts have become a constant in summers here. So taking advantage of this facility you can plan your day accordingly.

Go window shopping in air-conditioned malls while your power cut has rendered your AC useless. Catch latest blockbuster movie in the AC environs of multiplex and escape tormenting humid conditions.
