Mumbai power cut: Hilarious memes sweep the internet after power outage

As Mumbai came to standstill after a grid failure caused a major power outage across the megapolis on October 12, Maharashtra's Power Minister Nitin Raut urged everyone to stay calm and said the electricity supply in Mumbai was interrupted around 10 am during maintenance and repair work at Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company's 400 kv Kalwa-Padgha centre. Due to the power failure, suburban local train services and metro operating only for essential workers at present, have been held up. Traffic signals in some areas were also not working. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal, has asked all the hospitals to keep diesel generator sets ready in case the power outage in the city lasts more than two hours. Amid all this, what didn't stop working was people and their memes, which powered through with greater energy than ever. Check out some hilarious memes to drive away your Monday blues.
