Three-Hour Power Cut Hits Mahim and Matunga After Feeder Fault

The outage underscores service strain reflected in spotty communication.

Overview

  • Parts of Mahim and Matunga lost electricity for about three hours on Thursday evening.
  • BEST said a feeder supply fault caused the cut and sent repair teams who restored service on priority.
  • Mahim West near Mogul Lane and Sitladevi Temple Road were among the worst hit, according to local reports.
  • Residents reported repeated cuts this summer that left homes sweltering in high heat and humidity.
  • After complaints about unanswered calls to the fuse control room, BEST set up ward-level call centres and hired temporary staff this week.
