Kolkata Power Cuts

West Bengal Power Minister Aroop Biswas on Friday met officials of distribution company CESC and expressed concern over the rise in power cuts in Kolkata.

It's only April, yet the mercury has crossed the 40 degree mark in Kolkata and power cuts are making things worse. Never in the last 10 years, says the Metrological Department, has Kolkata been so hot on this date of April -- 40.6 degrees at 1 pm on Saturday.

Severe power cuts hit Kolkata on Tuesday morning due to a technical fault in the power supplier CESC's system.
