3 towers damaged, Mohali grapples with power crisis

A major power crisis erupted in Mohali on Friday, with outages being reported from almost all major towns of the district, including New Chandigarh (Mullanpur), Kharar and Mohali. Power could not be restored in most parts of Zirakpur due to three electric towers staying damaged even after 48 hours.

In New Chandigarh, residents complained that there was no power since 11 pm on Thursday. Power was restored in most of the areas only after 4 pm.

Ram Singh, a resident of Abhipur village in New Chandigarh told The Indian Express that there was no power supply for the last 18 hours, which led people to face many difficulties. He added that people had to suffer a lot due to this.
