Amid rising temperatures, residents of Delhi-NCR are battling yet another crisis—frequent and prolonged power cuts that are disrupting daily life. From households to businesses, everyone is feeling the brunt of the worsening electricity situation.
In recent days, several parts of the capital have reported repeated outages, with citizens taking to social media to express their frustration. The heat has become unbearable for many, especially the elderly and children, as fans, coolers, and air conditioners remain non-functional without electricity. The problem has been further compounded by water shortages in multiple areas, where the supply is directly dependent on electric pumps.

दिल्ली में लोग पॉवर कट से इतने परेशान हैं कि भाजपा के नेताओं को देख कर कोसने लगते हैं। इसलिए भाजपा के मंत्री सैंकड़ों पुलिस वालों के बिना ऑफिस से नहीं निकल पाते।

“This is not just about inconvenience—it’s a serious health and safety issue,” said a resident from West Delhi. “Without electricity, there is no water either. How are people supposed to manage in this heat?”
Adding to the chaos, a political blame game has erupted between the BJP and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Each side is accusing the other of mismanagement and negligence regarding Delhi’s power infrastructure.
Students preparing for board and competitive exams are also struggling. With outages striking during crucial study hours, many fear their performance may be affected. Working professionals, especially those operating remotely, are also facing disruption.
“Power cuts during work hours have become a daily thing. My entire day gets delayed,” said a graphic designer from Dwarka.
The small business sector is taking a financial hit too. Welders, tailors, shopkeepers, and other electricity-dependent trades are finding it difficult to sustain their operations amid the outages. “We lose at least two to three hours of work daily. That means loss of income,” said a local welder in East Delhi.
As Delhi swelters under heatwave conditions, the demand for an immediate solution is growing louder. Residents and experts are urging the authorities to take quick steps to address the ongoing electricity crisis before it worsens further.
