NEW DELHI - Authorities are trying to restore electricity to
five states in India after one of the biggest blackouts in years left more than
235 million people without power.
Hospital services were suspended, trains stopped running and factories closed
in the central and western parts of the country.
The blackout happened after Madhya Pradesh state tried to pull more power
from the national grid than the network could handle.
