Polling Over in Tamil Nadu, Power Cuts Back

  • 5 years ago
12-16 hour black-outs in many areas of Tamil Nadu, 2700 MW power shortage as summer heat hits peak. DMK-Jaya govt. blame each other, no quick fix in sight.

Presently Tamil Nadu faces a power shortage of around 1500 MW. Over the last few years the deficit had touched around 3000 MW and rural Tamil Nadu witnessed power cuts up to 14 hours a day. In Coimbatore, the industrial hub, hundreds of units shut shop due to the crippling power crisis. In the run up to the ongoing parliamentary election, the DMK made the power crisis a big poll issue. Chief Minister Jayalalithaa however blamed the earlier DMK regime for the mess and claimed she has enhanced power generation and has brought down the deficit.
