In India, no light left more than 300 million people

As a result of the scale with the 2001 blackout in India were left without electricity more than 300 million people (a quarter of the population) in its northern part, including the capital New Delhi. It is reported by Reuters.

Lights switched off at two o'clock in the morning local time in Delhi and seven states in the (one-fifth of the total number of subjects in India), among which, as reported by the most populous state of Uttar Pradesh, the country in which they live, more people than, for example , throughout Brazil, as well as the states of Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana. Electricity can not restore to the morning peak hour, resulting in a stopped train traffic in the subway, and on the roads in chaos because of the non-working traffic lights.

The deficit in electric power in India in the rush hour was about 12%, which also have an impact on economic performance.

In the morning power was restored only in some parts of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. The reasons for the collapse of the energy remains unknown.
