What to do during a power cut in Chennai
- Check whether it is just your home — ask a neighbour or look at the street. If only your house is affected, check your MCB or fuse box first.
- Report the outage — submit the form above or call the complaint helpline so the fault is logged for Chennai.
- Unplug sensitive appliances — switch off ACs, refrigerators and electronics to protect them from voltage surges when supply returns.
- Keep the fridge closed — a closed refrigerator keeps food cold for several hours during a power cut.
- Use torches, not candles — battery torches and charged power banks are safer than open flames.
