Give power cut schedule in Delhi: Najeeb Jung to discoms

The meeting was attended by chief secretary, principal secretary (power), senior officers of Delhi Transco Ltd. and chief executive officers of all discoms.

"Government establishments, including Delhi secretariat and other offices, universities, colleges have been advised to switch off air conditioning between 3.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. to conserve power. This does not include emergency services and institutions such as hospitals," said the statement.

Discoms have also been asked to strengthen their call centres by increasing the number of lines and deploying additional staff so that there is better communication with the public.

Jung has also appealed to the citizens of Delhi to bear with the situation, as the city is trying to cope with the damage caused to its transmission towers and power lines due to the recent thunderstorms.
