Residents of several areas in Dera Bassi are a harassed lot, as they have been reeling under enduring power cuts for the past week.
A resident rued that they have been facing a lot of inconvenience due to the power outages, as even inverters stop functioning after a while. It is not just the power supply that has been irregular, but the water supply has also been hit.
“We are living in very tough conditions. It is unfortunate that even the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has not been moved by our plight,” lamented Jaspal Singh Dappar, a resident of the Ashiana Colony, which is near DAV School in Dera Bassi.
