In a state-level meeting on Thursday, the Chief Minister gave instructions to keep the state free from power cuts from Dhanteras, Diwali, Bhaiyadooj, Chhath Puja to Kartik Purnima on November 15. Yogi instructed that on this occasion of joy and enthusiasm, uninterrupted power supply should be ensured to everyone for 24 hours.

It is believed that since this time by-elections are also being held on nine assembly seats in the state along with the festivals, that is why it has been said to keep the state free from power cuts till November 15. It is known that voting will be held on November 13 for the by-election seats.
It is worth mentioning that at present, only the metropolitan, district and divisional headquarters are free from power cuts. The schedule for power supply in tehsil and Nagar Panchayat areas is 21.30 hours, in Bundelkhand area it is 20 hours, while in rural areas it is 18 hours.
However, due to local faults, residents of many areas get electricity for even less time than this. Although the schedule for power cut in villages is only six hours, but due to burning of transformers and breakage of worn out wires, villagers have to face power cuts for much more than this.
