Patients at Sangrur Civil Hospital were a harried lot on Sunday due to an 8-hour long power cut. Despite having a hotline connection, repeated power outages has remained a major concern here.
As per sources, the internal wiring of hospital and other electricity system has not been updated for the past 35 years, but the demand inside the hospital has increased manifold. The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) authorities said the internal management of power supply lies with hospital authorities.
