    Solution

    The verb ‘attributed’ is always followed by the preposition ‘to’. Therefore, ‘on’ will be replaced with ‘to’. Tata Power, which is into both generation and distribution, attributed the power outage to a simultaneous substation tripping at state-run transmission company MSETCL’s two substations in the suburbs of Kalwa and Kharghar.
