POWER OUTAGE IN SEVERAL PARTS OF DELHI AFTER FIRE IN UP’S MANDOLA SUBSTATION; ATISHI SAYS ‘EXTREMELY WORRYING’

Power outage was reported from several parts of Delhi on Tuesday after a fire at a sub-station in Uttar Pradesh’s Mandola. Delhi's minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi called it "extremely worrying" and sought time from the Union Power Minister and the chairman of Power Grid Corporation of India. The Mandola power station, where fire broke out of Tuesday is a major electricity provider for central, south and east Delhi and covers around 1200 MW of power of the national capital. 

“Delhi receives 1,200 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,” Atishi posted at 3:49pm, adding this was a major failure in the national power grid. “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.
