Mumbaikars staying in western suburbs will have to brace themselves for power cuts in the coming days. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has announced a possible power outage in western areas of Kandivli, Malad, Goregaon and Andheri on the nights August 24, 25 and 31 and September 1, from 12 am to 6 am. The power will be shut off as the authority will erect monopoles in Kamraj Nagar on the Dahisar to DN Nagar Metro-2A corridor.

"Although  TATA Power and Adani Electricity have assured alternative arrangements during the above mentioned nights, there is a possibility of a power outage and hence MMRDA thought it appropriate to communicate with the consumers of the same," said B.G.Pawar, Joint Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA.
