Chennai is facing a series of scheduled power outages due to maintenance work, with affected areas including Korattur, Rajakilpakkam, and Mathur on August 7, and several others on August 6. These outages are expected to last from 9 am to 2 pm, with restoration before 2 pm if work is completed early. In a separate incident, a civil service aspirant named Vani claimed to have been paralyzed by an electric shock at a library in Delhi, highlighting safety violations in local institutions. Additionally, students in Delhi's Old Rajender Nagar are enduring hazardous living conditions, with risks such as gas leaks and flooding exacerbating their challenges as they prepare for competitive exams. The Greater Chennai Corporation is actively working to remove unauthorized beach encroachments linked to organized gangs, despite local resistance.
