Though the longevity of the cut varied in different areas, everyday life across the board came to a standstill. Many people made light of the event. But, various others saw it as a major inconvenience. However, everyone in Mumbai and nearby areas felt the magnitude of the matter.
Meanwhile, various brands also expressed their take on the blackout in various ways. In no time, social media posts surrounding Mumbai’s power outage flooded the internet.
