Maharashtra CM orders probe into power outage in Mumbai
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday took serious cognisance of a massive power outage in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and ordered an immediate probe.
Thackeray held a meeting on the issue and instructed authorities concerned to ensure there is no recurrence of the episode, an official statement said.
The power supply in majority of areas in the city was restored within three to three-and-a-half hours after it was affected at around 10 am, it said.

Nitin Raut later tweeted that “Power supply to all essential services in Mumbai, Mumbai Suburbs, Kalyan, Thane, Palghar & New Mumbai have been restored”.
