On Monday power demand in the city reached nearly 4400MW, just shy of last year's highest demand of 4408MW that was reported in June. This led to long outages in most parts of the capital.
In east Delhi, residents of Mayur Vihar faced power cuts lasting up to five hours on Tuesday. ``The power went off around noon and came for just a half hour in the evening. We faced a harrowing time in scorching heat without any power. We didn't even get water supply in the evening,'' said Mrinalini Saini, a resident of Mayur Vihar Phase II. In the afternoon, parts of Patparganj, Preet Vihar and adjoining areas faced outages for over an hour.
Situation in south Delhi was equally bad, if not worse. In Lajpat Nagar, many residents faced sleepless night due to outages. ``First there was a two-hour power cut in the night. In the morning, we faced hour-long outage,'' saidManjit Singh.
Defence Colony residents complained of erratic power supply throughout the day. In CR Park, residents faced two to three-hour long power cuts till late evening. Romila Suri, a resident of R-block in New Rajinder Nagar said the situation was just worsening. ``On Monday, we had no electricity for almost four hours and then it went off at night again. Again on Tuesday when it is so hot, there was no supply in the afternoon,'' she said.
