Power shortage in Haryana at its high

Managing Director of Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam 
 (DHBVN)
 Amit Kumar Agrawal, has said that June 27's highest demand in Haryana was to the tune of 1,528.33 lakh units against 1,127.45 lakh units on the corresponding day of last year. 
 
 Hot weather conditions pushed the power demand in Haryana to 7,812 mw on June 28, which is an all-time high. The government-owned discom, DHBVN, said that the delayed monsoon has also added to the problem and there has been a sharp increase in demand, particularly in domestic sector (for cooling), and agriculture sector (for paddy plantation and irrigation). 
 
 
 Agrawal claimed that the power utilities were prepared to meet the regular demand. But he added that they made all efforts to meet the increased demand by purchasing power from different sources and are giving record power supply in the state in terms of quantity, despite of constraints in power generating projects. 
 
 The utilities are trying to purchase more power from the grid as well as other sources to meet the increased demand of electricity in the state, an official statement said. However, people across the state have been complaining about erratic power supply and long electricity cuts. The situation was worse in Gurgoan, which is the major revenue generator for the discom.
