Rajasthan Power Cuts

Rajasthan is scheduled four hours of power cuts for factories, making it at least the third state to disrupt industrial activity to manage surging power demand amid an intense heat wave.

Rajasthan said on Friday it will schedule one-hour power cuts due to a nationwide coal shortage that has pushed many utilities to the brink of running out of coal.

BJP vice president Vasundhara Raje on Saturday targeted the Rajasthan government over the power crisis in the state, saying the unscheduled power cuts are a result of the Congress dispensation's mismanagement.

Villagers in Gangithala in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district were recentlyasked to build toilets to ensure they receive electricity supply to their homes.

Rajasthan Energy Minister Pushpendra Singh today said there would be no power cuts during night in the state beginning this evening.

Patients today faced a hard time in SMS hospital, the biggest government hospital in the state, following disruption in electricity supply tonight. Three patients of ICU were shifted to another hospital where alternate arrangements for light were available, hospital sources said.
