Sudden spurt in power consumption with the onset of summer and tripping of three power plants of the state led to power crisis in several parts of state including Dhanbad, Jamshedpur, Lohardaga, Gumla, Simdega, Khunti, Garhwa, Palamau and Santhal Pargana since Saturday.

Worst hit areas remained Dhanbad, Jamshedpur, Palamau, Garhwa and Santhal Pargana etc The gravity of power crisis can be assumed the fact more than 10 to 12 hours of load shedding is being carried out of Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) and Jharkhand Bijli Vitran Nigam Limited (JBVNL) giving sleepless nights to common residents in these districts.
