New Delhi: Protests over Delhi’s power outages continued yesterday even as the federal government allocated more gas to a power plant to enable it double its production. Meanwhile, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal accused the federal government of shielding the discoms. Yesterday also saw the season’s highest demand of 5,470 MW.
The 1,500 MW Bawana (Pragati-III) Power Plant started generating over 400 MW power after GAIL — on New Delhi’s directions — pumped more gas into it Tuesday night.
Congress legislator Jai Kishan staged a protest in Delhi’s northwest area of Sultanpuri.
“We have never seen such long power cuts, lasting up to 10-12 hours a day, due to which even the water supply has been affected. Our children are not able to prepare for their examinations,” a resident said. IANS
