Several parts of Delhi experienced power failure on Tuesday following a fire at sub-station of Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) in Mandola in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi Power minister Atishi said.
In a post on X, Atishi said she is seeking appointment with the Union Power Minister and the Chairman of PGCIL, to ensure such a situation is not repeated.
“There is power outage in many parts of Delhi from 2:11 pm. Delhi receives 1200 MW of power from the Mandola sub-station, and therefore many parts of Delhi have been affected. The power restoration process has begun and electricity is now gradually returning to different areas,” she said.
“But this major failure in the national power grid is extremely worrying. I am seeking time with the Central Power Minister and the Chairman of PGCIL, to ensure that such a situation is not repeated,” she added in the post.
