UP hits 30,339 MW peak
With electricity usage breaking records this summer (Uttar Pradesh hit a peak of 30,339 megawatts), Adityanath is calling for stronger transmission networks and faster response teams.
He stressed that "Ensuring uninterrupted and reliable power during the peak summer season remains the government's top priority," especially during heatwaves.
The government is also ramping up helpline support so people can get their issues sorted more quickly.
