Government will make sure there is no power cut in Delhi: Sanjay Singh

Reacting to the threats given by Discom to cut power in the capital for ten hours, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh on Friday said that the government will make sure that there are no power cuts in the capital and that they are not going to let the people of Delhi suffer at any cost.

"This is not going to happen no matter what, they have to provide electricity to the people. We will not let the people of Delhi suffer at any cost," said Singh.

"The government will take action if they do not abide with our directions and the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is extremely serious about this matter," he said.

"Company will have to provide electricity to the people as they are bound to do it. They cannot randomly make power cuts leaving the people to suffer for ten hours," he added.

Discom BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) has warned that it would be forced to resort to daily power cuts of up to 10 hours from February because it has no funds to pay public sector generation units for power supplies.

The Reliance-backed Discom has written to Delhi government saying it could lose over 500mw of supply if the generation units do not extend credit and give it more time to clear its dues.
