The power officials informed that the Discoms send the location and disruption data to Urja Mitra – a project initiated by the union Ministry of Power and it sends the SMS to customers in advance if there are scheduled maintenance works. In the case of unscheduled disruptions, customers are notified about the issue and the time it will take for the company to rectify it.
