Power blackouts in India
More than 600 million people are without electricity after the collapse of a third power grid in India.
Stretching from Assam to the Himalayas and Rajasthan, one of the worst blackouts to his the nation in a decade has plunged the country into darkness for a second consecutive day
Hope the miners are safe and they sort it out soon .
Colt45, WV???
Mandi
I heard the reason for the blackout was the main power generating company had a complete shutdown. Their worker fell off his generator bike and broke his leg.....
[yawn] boring!!
...looks like India is really making a start to save the world and reduce carbon emissions by starting to go green by trying to reduce electricity consumption. Good job India.. You sure can do your bit to save the world
Its ok monkey my brothers are here to protect me from unwanted indian attention, especially when there is a black out.
More than 600 million people w/o electricity... OMG!
brit, That would only remain a Wish....
Establishments at both sides of the Border, will not let it happen...
mozaismyhero its not good to call any maintenance guy when ur alone as ur a lady for safety reasons
I have an Indian maitenance guy who is an electrican, maybe I could send him there to help. He is also a plumber, carpenter, driver, building, a/c specialist and gardener. However nothing seems to get fixed in my villa...:(
Delhi airport was functioning normally yesterday with no impact of the power cut!
Yeah and then our technical worker could not get to Doha as the metro was not working and the airport was loaded with a backlog of flights all stuck at Delhi because of the avoidable mess that the goverment did not see coming as they must have been to busy with looting the public treasury and filling their own pockets
again India
Tinkerjee...ahem...secret..:)
Painther Jee..I know Bloody Pakistanis ;)
If only governments realised the same.
India and Pakistan working together could achieve great things.
..actually i was very worried not to see this so important news in QL for sometime, but guess what, there're people, concerned as always, in the service of mankind through this post...........!!!
:P
haha khanan, good, plz don't say it’s ABP news (formerly star news) ..lol,
Once one squirrel, in my neighborhood, got sick and subsequently died, some of us blamed it to ISI but they say it was in response to what RAW did when they found one crocodile unconscious in clifton :)
Khanan I didn't catch much coverage of it on TV so not sure what they were speculating.
Some analysts were wondering what will happen if some terrorists tried to take advantage of such a blackout in future to strike. Maybe some news channel picked up on it and allowed their imaginations to run riot.
I saw two Indian news channel yesterday speculating a 'terrorist link in neighbouring country' for the power outage.
One of them quite reputed one :) L
Whats this got to do with Doha?
I know, I was being cocky :-P
Narendra Modi doesn't need to blame anyone, Gujarat (Where he is the chief minister) is the only power surplus state in India and the only state where every village gets 24 hours power supply. They enjoyed uninterrupted power supply yesterday.
Colt45 it had nothing to do with a thunder-storm.
for sure narendra modi will blame pakistan for the power blackout :)
That's the norm with every thunder-storm in WV :-(
Use "were without electricity" and "had plunged" in your post. Power was restored last night.
