Delhi to get 400 megawatts of power tonight: Goyal

New Delhi, June 10 (IBNS) With Delhi reeling under severe blackouts, Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday announced that the capital will get 400 megawatts of power by Tuesday night.

Goyal held an emergency meeting with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung and senior government officials to discuss the continuous, long hours of power cuts in the national capital.

"We will provide 400 megawatts of power to Delhi by tonight," said Goyal.

"The Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which were in power before us and for longer time, did nothing to solve the problems of transmissions and distribution. And hence the people are suffering," he said.

He slammed former Delhi Chief Ministers Sheila Dikshit and Arvind Kejriwal and said: "The previous government were insensitive to the needs of the people. They had no planning, they had no proper assessment of power loads to execute adequate transmission and distribution projects."
