This time the digital desktop: The Alipore Meteorological Department has forecast heavy rains in South Bengal starting Sunday due to intense low pressure in the northeast of the bay. CESC has sent a message to customers in response to this forecast from the meteorological office. Where they have apologized in advance to customers for possible power outages. A helpline number has also been provided. The number is 1912. They said that if there is any problem related to the power supply, they can call this number for help.

Memories of the Umpun riots are still fresh in the minds of ordinary people. Large areas of the city were without power for several days after the cyclone. As a result of the closure, the number of staff was much smaller than usual and the CESC was unable to handle the situation. In many places, power company workers have to face public anger. Learning from that bitter experience, the private company in charge of supplying power to Kolkata and the surrounding areas has come to the fore this time. In addition to informing customers about the forecast of heavy rains, they have made all preparations to deal with any situation. At the same time, helplines have been launched to standardize prompt service in potentially powerless areas. Customers have also been reminded of that number.
