As the temperature is rising and so the power demand, the dues of government departments towards the cash-strapped Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) are also increasing, if official figures are any indication.
At least 34 government departments owe a sum of almost Rs 250 crore to the PSPCL across five circles in Ludhiana, officials have said.
The Departments of Water Supply and Sanitation, Health and Family Welfare and Rural Development and Panchayats were the top three defaulters on the PSPCL’s list, the latest data has revealed.
Taking a serious note of the dues amounting to Rs 24,989.68 lakh, the PSPCL has served notices on the defaulter departments and has asked them to clear their dues without any further delay.
