“Punjab, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, are the states that may face an electricity blackout in the next few days. The state govts and several discoms have started pressing the panic button over electricity supply but the Central govt says that the panic is unfounded. The post-pandemic world has necessitated a shift in electricity consumption trends. Most of the professionals are still working from home, Students are attending online classes at home. They require an uninterrupted electricity supply. Moreover, with the festive season approaching the demand for electricity has seen a significant uptick. Earlier on Saturday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal asserted that the national capital has been struggling with energy supplies for the past three months. Furthermore, he urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and resolve the crisis immediately. In his letter to PM Modi, CM Kejriwal drew the attention of PM Modi towards the prevailing coal shortage continuing since August/September. While Power Minister RK Singh had earlier said that such shortages were encountered earlier too, it never led to any kind of blackout. However, the current situation is likely to persist for the next six months and can prove to be uncomfortable for the govt. In fact, India’s energy crisis has been induced because of critical coal shortage. According to a report on October six, almost half of India’s thermal power plants was left with just three days worth of energy,. So what’s the truth behind the alarm bell over electricity blackout? Is it a genuine concern or just a panic-induced by rumour? Let us figure out in this video today.
