Long power outages continued to haunt residents of the national capital for the fourteenth consecutive day even as Delhi Government announced that it will take at least ten more days to restore the transmission network damaged by last month’s storm.
Customers of BSES discoms were the worst affected lot as their areas faced maximum power cuts. There was no power in some areas of East Delhi for over seven hours while localities in South and West Delhi also reeled under four to five hours of outages.
Almost all major power transmission lines were severely damaged in the devastating storm that had truck the city on 30 May. The network is yet to be restored.
Delhi’s Additional Power Secretary Ankur Garg said it will take at least 10 days to restore the transmission network and normalise the supply. PTI
