  新闻一:印度停电、供水系统瘫痪
  A massive power failure has hit India for a second day running, leaving more than half the country without power. It was caused when three regional power grids collapsed, meaning over 600 million people are without power.
  Hundreds of miners were trapped underground in the eastern state of West Bengal when the lifts failed, metro services were stopped temporarily in the capital and hundreds of trains were held up nationwide.
  Traffic jams
  In a statement on national TV on Tuesday evening, Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said he had appealed to states to stop trying to take more than their quota of power. "I have also instructed my officials to penalise the states which overdraw from the grid," he said.
  Media reports in India have suggested that Uttar Pradesh is among the states that government officials have been blaming for the grid collapse.
  Complete mess
  By late on Tuesday, officials said the north-eastern grid was fully up and running. The northern grid was running at 75% capacity and the eastern at 40%. In Delhi, Metro services were halted and staff evacuated trains. Many traffic lights in the city failed, leading to massive traffic jams.
  Much of the country's railway network has started moving again, although a full service is not expected for many hours and there is a huge backlog to clear.
  Ageing grid
  Addressing a news conference earlier on Tuesday, the chairman of the Power Grid Corporation of India said the exact cause of the power cut was unclear, he said, but that it appeared to be due to the "interconnection of grids".
  The eastern grid failed around the same time, officials said, followed by the north-eastern grid. Areas affected include Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan in the north, and West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa and Jharkhand in the east.
  Power cuts are common in Indian cities because of a fundamental shortage of power and an ageing grid - the chaos caused by such cuts has led to protests and unrest on the streets in the past.
