Residents in Udupi District have been enduring frequent power cuts that have disrupted daily life and business operations. Over the past month, households and commercial establishments have reported an average of three outages per week.
The electricity supply in the district, managed by the Karnataka State Electricity Board, has been criticized for inadequate infrastructure and delayed maintenance. According to local officials, aging transmission lines and insufficient transformer capacity are key factors.
