Energy Minister Ashish Sood Shares Shocking Power Cut Data
Delhi’s Energy Minister Ashish Sood has released data showing that the national capital experienced power outages lasting more than five hours on over 52,000 occasions in the past 10 years. The data highlights serious concerns over the reliability of power supply in the city, especially as summer begins to set in.
BJP Blames AAP for Power Infrastructure Issues
Sood attributed the problem to the mismanagement of the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, accusing them of neglecting Delhi’s power infrastructure. He claimed the city’s distribution networks were left outdated and unable to handle the growing electricity demand.
Power Cuts and Public Complaints Rise with Summer
With the onset of heat in Delhi, residents across several localities have started reporting frequent and prolonged power cuts. Despite growing complaints, the BJP-led Delhi government has stated that the situation is under control and efforts are being made to upgrade power infrastructure.
Political War of Words
The revelation has sparked a fresh political debate in the capital. While the current administration blames the previous government, AAP leaders argue that the BJP is shifting blame and failing to resolve the actual problems affecting Delhi’s electricity system.
Future Plans to Improve Supply
Minister Sood also mentioned upcoming projects aimed at modernizing the grid, increasing energy efficiency, and minimizing outages. He assured the public that the government is committed to delivering uninterrupted power supply during peak summer months.
