Odisha is facing a severe heatwave with temperatures crossing 40 degrees Celsius, exacerbated by frequent power outages and low voltage. Due to high demand, which has increased by 17% in Bhubaneswar compared to last year, the state government has cancelled leaves for all electricity department employees to ensure uninterrupted power supply. While the opposition blames government mismanagement, Deputy CM KV Singh Deo attributed the issues to overloading caused by increased AC usage, leading to transformer failures. Efforts are underway on a war footing to stabilize the supply. https://sambad.in/state/odisha-is-burning-discontent-over-power-disruptions-11867721 #creator program
