CHENNAI: Frequent power cuts across the state including in Chennai are affecting residents already wilting under rising temperatures. While the districts have been suffering for the past few weeks, some parts of Chennai have been affected since the last few days. And, officials say Tamil Nadu may suffer a major coal shortage soon if supply remains below its daily requirements.
Residents say outages in summers make things worse. “There have been frequent power cuts in our locality for the past few days. It was bad on Thursday night when power went off for around one hour,” said Anusuya R of Adyar.
