AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, on Sunday (May 24, 2026), criticised incidents of unscheduled power cuts in various places across Tamil Nadu and urged the TVK-led government to take steps on war footing to resolve the issue.
Mr. Palaniswami, in a statement, contended normal life was affected due to unscheduled power cuts and people had to spend sleepless nights. He also referred to media reports about power cuts in various parts of Chennai for two consecutive days.
Power cuts caused by load issues, not shortage, says Minister R. Nirmalkumar
