Parts of Mumbai, Thane face power cuts due to tripping; restoration efforts on

Many pockets in the financial capital and its adjoining suburbs like Thane witnessed a power outage on Tuesday morning due to a suspected tripping in a transmission line.

The outage comes at a time when Maharashtra is reeling under a power deficit pegged at around 2,500 mw, which has led the state discom to compulsorily cut power supply to some pockets, and outages in February this year and October 2020.

Some parts of central Mumbai like Dadar, Matunga, along with suburbs like Bhandup and Mulund within the municipal limits of Mumbai, and the adjoining cities of Thane and Dombivili faced a power outage from around 10 am, as per reports.
