पावसासाठी आशेने आभाळाकडे डोळे लावून बसलेल्या राज्यातील लोकांवर एक तास वाढीव लोडशेडिंगची वीज गुरुवारी कोसळली.

विजेचा तुटवडा ५२०० मेगावॉटवर गेल्याने मोठ्या शहरांत पावणेसहा ते आठ तास, मध्यम शहरांत आठ ते साडेनऊ तास, तर ग्रामीण भागात १४ तास इतका वेळ अंधारयात्रा लोकांना घडणार आहे. ही घोषणा होत असतानाच राज्यभर पावसाने हजेरी लावल्याने लोडशेडिंगला आळा बसण्याची आशा आहे.
