Power Outage In Tamil Nadu

Several parts of Chennai reeled under a sudden power outage due to a fire incident which caused sequential faults on both feeders at the Manali substation, here.

People in Chennai and its suburbs continued to struggle with stagnant water and power outages two days after Cyclone Michuang-induced rain caused severe waterlogging in the Tamil Nadu capital.

Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister V Senthil Balaji was on Tuesday trolled for his remark that frequent power outages in the state were caused by squirrels running on power lines.

With rival parties stepping up campaign for the April 27 Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu, the opposition has targeted the ruling AIAMDK on the power outage issue even as Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa assured voters that the problem would be solved by June.

The opposition is expected to corner the government on a range of issues, including the riots in Assam, power outages and low-intensity blasts in Pune during the monsoon session of parliament beginning on Wednesday as the ruling UPA will seek to push pending anti-corruption bills and other legislative agenda.
