Taking a cue from the massive power blackout in North and East India, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar has asked Center to keep a strict vigil on the Power Consumption by various states and ensure that no party received more than the electricity quota limit.
“The Centre should develop a system to disallow parties drawing power more than the allocated quota,” he told reporters here. He was replying to a query on Northern, Eastern and North-eastern grid failure which triggered a massive power blackout across the country. Kumar said today’s situation developed in the wake of some states ‘over-drawing’ electricity.
The chief minister claimed Bihar was drawing electricity within the allocated limit of around 1400 MW. Kumar said it was expected that electricity supply would be restored from 9 pm and termed it as a calamity-like situation where “people should maintain patience.”
He suggested that emergency services be accorded priority soon after restoration of power.
