I am simultaneously creating a tool to plot this data graphically across Thanjavur. This should be ready tomorrow. I am most thankful to everyone who has helped. This week, it is the weekly digest that would contain all the necessary detail. I will keep all contributors posted, and appreciate their contributions.

It has also been informed to me that these timings are not decided locally but centrally controlled from Chennai to ensure that load shedding in all of Tamil Nadu is well coordinated. The power deficit, the budget required to buy the deficit power, and loans of TNEB that have not yet been closed must be laid transparently before the people of the country.

We understand, model, and then find methods of reducing power consumption. This will work only if TNEB works with the people and not autonomously without informing the people in detail.

I am hoping that is the way it shall be shortly.
