Mumbai:
There was a power outage in many areas of the country’s financial capital Mumbai and its surrounding suburbs on Tuesday morning. These cuts have been made at a time when the state is grappling with power shortage, due to which the power distribution companies (discoms) are compulsorily forced to cut power supply in some areas. According to reports, parts of central Mumbai as well as suburbs like Bhandup and Mulund in Mumbai’s municipal area and adjoining cities of Thane and Dombivli were hit by power cuts around 10 am.
