118 degrees in New Delhi
With power outages
NEW DELHI: On the hottest day of the season, when the temperature at Palam touched a 62-year-high of 47.8 degrees celsius, lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung announced a series of emergency steps to save power, including cutting off supply to malls after 10pm and switching off halogen streetlamps during peak night hours, 10pm-1am.
The measures, to be effective from Sunday night, were aimed at providing some relief to Delhiites hit by the double whammy of extreme hot weather and long power outages.
