Power Cuts In Delhi Amid Heatwave, Water Crisis: "National Grid Failure"
Delhi, dealing with the double whammy of an unprecedented heatwave and a severe water crisis, took a new blow this afternoon. There were power cuts in several parts of the capital city after a power grid in UP's Mandola - which supplies 1,500 megawatts of electricity to the national capital - caught fire, Delhi Power Minister Atishi said. The temperature in Delhi this afternoon hovered around 42 degrees Celsius.
