New Delhi: Parliament, which is currently in session, saw multiple power cuts on Monday.
The power in Parliament went off three times, each time for nearly 10 minutes.
Emergency lights were put on thrice in both the Houses between 4:20 pm and 4:50 pm.
However, members in both the House took little note of the inconvenience and continued with the debate.
In the Lok Sabha, some members were seen clicking pictures of the dim hall using their mobile phones.
Francisco Sardinha (Cong), who was in the chair, noted that power cuts were too frequent on Monday.
As there was a little commotion in the House, Sardinha remarked, "Only keep your ears open, you can close your eyes."
In the Rajya Sabha, Tariq Anwar (NCP) was in the chair. He was heard inquiring when the power would be restored.
A Parliament Secretariat official said the power failure was due to a fault in the local sub-station.
