All day long Power cuts in Madurai

Today, in certain areas in Madurai - there is all day long power cut. It is from 9 AM to 5 PM. How are people living here? It is unbelievable?!

How do businesses run here? Would they use some kind of generator/inverter?

What would residential communities do about it? How do they manage in this hot weather? Would it not affect the businesses which needs power?

What is the reason to the power cuts? Is it because there is not enough power generated? or god's sake we are living in a state where power is generated (Neyveli)!

I don't have answers to any of this! We take lot of things for granted and learn to adjust to the life, based on what is provided! We are never trying to rectify or fix the situation...
