It is Monday morning, but not playing Monday morning blues in Mumbai as the maximum city has plunged into black zone, quite literally, after a power outage. Multiple tripping of lines and transformer (Kalwa-Padghe and Khargar ICTs) supplying power to Mumbai system has been reported with 360 MW supply in Mumbai and suburbs affected. An official said that restoration under process and will take one hour.
As Mumbai awaits electricity supplies to be restored, many took to Twitter to express anguish anger and frustration over the power outage in India's financial capital. Jokes, memes rule the roost and Mumbai vs Delhi jibes are keeping up the humour quotient.
Take a look at some of the memes:
Oh stop looking at the skies. Aliens aren't landing. Bane is taking over Mumbai. WHERE IS BATMAN #powercut

Powercut in the entire city on a Monday morning proves that there is a god somewhere who wants you to have an extended weekend. No WFH. #Mumbai

Miss the early days of the pandemic when we still had electricity.

Uh! #PowerCut is because of incoming electricity failure it seems.Sounds a bit like "This flight is delayed due to the late arrival of the incoming flight". Or, "We lost the match because we scored less runs than the opposition".# https://t.co/V2smcUv8WX

The local trains under Western Railway — between Churchgate to Vasai railway station — have come to a standstill due to grid failure. However, both National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) said that there is no stoppage in trading despite power failure.
