At a high-level meeting called to review the power situation, Dikshit asked the discoms to make their grievance redressal mechanism function efficiently and effectively round the clock.
Officials said Reliance Infrastructure-backed discom BSES was particularly pulled up at the meeting for long outages in its area of operation due to local faults in the transmission network.
"The Chief Minister while stressing on the need of urgent repair of faulty transformers asked BSES to procure mobile transformers which are already being deployed by the Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited under its jurisdiction," a statement issued by Chief Minister's office said.
Several areas in the city have been facing outages for upto three hours due to collapse of transmission network following increase in power demand. The discoms have been asked to prominently publicise their helpline numbers so that consumers are not put to any inconvenience in lodging complaints.
Officials said the discoms were told to submit reports on the power situation to the government on a daily basis. Power Secretary Sakti Sinha has been instructed to closely monitor the situation.
Meanwhile, several ares of East, South, West and North Delhi continued to face power cuts ranging from one hour to four hours in sweltering heat as maximum temperature touched 42.2 degree Celsius.
The maximum demand today was recorded at 4,688 MW against yesterday's 4,717 mega watt which was the highest demand of this summer. MORE
