How Gurgaon endured 40 hours of darkness: 9,500 complaints, dry taps, 1 lakh homes in dark and fuming residents
More than one lakh homes in Gurgaon lost electricity due to a strike by power employees that began two days ago. Residents protested and blocked major roads as power outages continued for over 40 hours in some areas. The situation was exacerbated by disruptions to water supply from electric pumps not functioning. Complaints surged to around 9,500, with most remaining unresolved as employees demanded cancellation of a private license.
