As per the new schedule to be effective from Wednesday, there would be 11 hours of load-shedding for four days and 10 hours for the rest three days every week.
The NEA had increased power outage time to 56 hours a week just a fortnight ago on December 15 from 38.5 hours being at place till then.[break]
Energy Minister Prakash Sharan Mahat had earlier on December 13 warned that load-shedding hours could climb up to 14 hours a day during the period between February 13 and March 14 next year due to reduction of water levels in rivers.
