New Delhi: There has been a severe power shortage for the last few days across Maharashtra and Karnataka. The two state governments have assured that the situation will soon be back to normal. With the states hit by one of its worst power crisis in recent times, people have begun attacking power distribution offices across the state.
The reason for the crisis is shortage of coal supply to power plants that has crippled power generation.
And it's not just Maharashtra, the capital too has faced up to four hours of power cuts everyday. Delhi power minister Haroon Yousuf said things will back to normal in two days. Yousuf blames UP for withdrawing more than its fair share of power form the Northern Grid.
Even Karnataka is severely hit with upto eight hours of load shedding in rural areas. While the Telangana crisis in neighbouring Andhra is being blamed for disruption in coal supplies, the Chief Minister says all is well.
Karnataka Chief Minister DV Sadanananda Gowda said, "We will get 500 MHZ of power from UPCL. For the time being we are commissioning a second unit of power transmission. We are meeting the Centre on October 14 and we hope they'll cooperate with us. We will provide full power on Deepavali, you can all enjoy."
Across India states have promised better power supply - but with the festival of lights round the corner, will it be a dark Deepavali?
