"The city government would not allow the discoms to leave the consumers in the lurch by effecting power cuts in extreme winter. This is causing inconvenience to consumers," she said.

Dikshit also instructed the power department to closely monitor the situation and bring it to the notice of her in case power cuts continue in the city.

Discoms said they had to resort to intermittent load-shedding as a number of generating stations have reduced power supply due to shortage of coal resulting from cancellation and rescheduling of goods trains carrying the fuel.
