Residents of South Goa will face a significant power shutdown on April 12 as the state electricity board schedules maintenance.
The Goa State Electricity Board has announced a scheduled power shutdown for the South Goa district on April 12, 2024. The outage is planned to last for approximately 12 hours, from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, to allow for essential maintenance of the transmission network.

The power cut is part of a broader effort to upgrade aging infrastructure and improve reliability across the state. While the outage will inconvenience many, authorities assure that the work will reduce future power failures and enhance overall service quality.
