New Delhi: Power has been fully restored in India after two-day blackout which affected more than 600 million people, a senior official said on Wednesday.
“Power has been restored fully across the northern, eastern and north-eastern grids,” Power System Operation Corporation chief S.K. Soonee told AFP, referring to the systems which collapsed on Tuesday in an unprecedented outage.
The breakdowns in the northern, eastern, and north-eastern grids affected 20 of India’s 28 states.
The blackout caused transport networks to grind to a halt with hundreds of trains stranded and water supplies interrupted.
