Media urge the federal government to immediately address the problem of power outages in northern Indian states. An intense heat wave has been sweeping northern states of India in the past few days with temperatures reaching as high as 47C (118F). The demand for electricity has sharply risen because more people are using air conditioners and other cooling appliances. Low production at some power plants is also causing prolonged power outages in many cities, reports say. Papers feel solving this power problem is one of the first pressure tests of the newly-elected government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. bbc/news/world-asia-india-27790325?OCID=fbbbcindia
