Noida, Mar 19 (PTI) Power supply disruption played spoilsport during a programme attended by two Uttar Pradesh government ministers in Greater Noida on Sunday, amid the statewide protest by a section of electricity department employees.

The disruption lasted for around two minutes at the India Expo Centre and Mart before the power supply was resumed at the venue through generators, according to a person who attended the programme.

The power disruption had left the event hall -- that included the two ministers and scores of audience members -- in darkness, the person said, as purported video clips of the episode surfaced on social media.
