A major power outage has struck northern India, plunging cities into darkness and stranding hundreds of thousands of commuters on the region's trains. The Indian capital and its metro service have been affected.
The chairman of the state-run Uttar Pradesh state Power Corporation Avinash Awasthi says it could take up to 12 hours to fully restore the electricity supply in eight northern states, including New Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Rajashthan. (AP)
