In an official statement, BEL emphasized it is “aware of a fake post being circulated on social media purportedly from BEL announcing a countrywide power outage on Sunday, December 8. BEL hereby assures our customers and the public in general that no such outage is planned for Sunday or any other day.”
The utility company urges customers to rely on its BEL 24-7 App or official website for accurate updates and announcements regarding power services.
