Power shortage issue raised in Legislative Council

Mumbai, Apr 3 (UNI) Congress and Shiv Sena members today raised the issue of power crunch in the state and the metropolis and wanted to know as why the Dabhol Power project was delayed.

They also demanded clarification whether the state capital would get uninterrupted power supply or not.

Sanjay Dutt (Cong) and Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena) raised the issue of power crunch through a point of propriety.

Mr Sawant said the government should make a statement about uninterrupted power supply to the city.

On the other hand, Mr Dutt said after Tata power fetched power from Maharashtra grid, the load-shedding increased in the state. In Mumbai, the shortage of power is 400 MW and in such a situation, the Dabhol Power project should start again.
