Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit and power minister Haroon Yusuf met the Union power minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Monday to discuss the feasibility of delinking the Capital from the Northern Grid.

Under the 'islanding scheme', Delhi can be isolated and insulated from the grid so that it can draw power directly from a generating station in case of a collapse.

Yusuf said "Delhi is the capital of the country and continuous power supply is important from a security point of view."

The scheme is already in place in south and central Mumbai.
