Delhi hit with the worst ever power crunch in the hands of private players

After the entire city is facing actute power shortage for almost two-three weeks, the Delhi government is doing nothing except organising meetings and announcing there verdict on the power crises. The date of relief has been again shifted further to July 12 when suppositely, Delhi is about to get 500 MW of power (God knows how from wher). Some media agencies claimed that even if the govt. buys power from Gujarat, MP and Orissa, all the grid lines are already booked by other states for additional power. So how will the Delhi govt. materialize what it has promised is still a magic-to be seen.

The main problem which came in the papers a few days ago is that the power ministey or the people who manage it - had delayed in thinking and not booked the grid (as the other states did) and now even if we buy power, where is the grid that will bring it in???

Now the govt. is telling people about the rain that is going to hit Delhi soon... what a relief to the power crises!! (though it has just started raining today - July 9 at about 9:30-10.00 am), At least god is with us if not our own government.
