Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane experienced an unprecendeted, massive blackout on Monday after 10 am. All the power companies - MahaVitaran, Adani, Tata and BEST - confirmed the development. Several suburban trains on the central line and the western line have been suspended. Traffic signals have also been affected due to electricity failure.
The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) said, “Due to grid failure, the supply of power in the city is disrupted.”

"The electric supply is interrupted due to TATAs incoming electric supply failure. Inconvenience is regretted," it added.
Amid the back out, Mumbaikars working from home dished out some rib tickling meme on the power failure and #powercut soon became a top trend on twitter.
While some memes were about the sudden nature of the blackout, others hilariously mentioned how working professionals must be enjoying it.
