New Delhi Power minister M Veerappa Moily has called a eeting of chief ministers of states affected by the grid collapse on August 6 to take stock of the situation and prevent recurrence of one of the world’s worst blackouts in recent times. The idea is to impress upon states to ensure grid discipline and prevent overdrawal of power that is being anticipated as the main reason for the collapse of the grid.

“We thought it fit and appropriate to convene a meeting of all the chief ministers and power ministers of all affected eight states and one Union Territory on August 6 afternoon. We do no want to launch any blame game on any states but everyone should realise that one wrong step results in suffering for all,”
