India's northern and eastern power grids fail

A massive blackout hit northern and eastern India on July 31, leaving 600 million people without electricity in one of the world's most widespread power failures.

The outage came just a day after India's northern power grid collapsed for several hours leaving cities and villages across eight states powerless.

Indian officials managed to restore the northern grid by July 30, but at 1:05 p.m. July 31 the grid collapsed again, said Shailendre Dubey, an official at the Uttar Pradesh Power Corp. in India's largest state. About the same time, the eastern grid failed as well, said S.K. Mohanty, a power official in the eastern state of Orissa. The two grids serve about half India's population. (AP)
