Distressed by overlong power cuts, Mohali residents take to streets

Facing disruption in power supply for over a week, Mohali district residents took to the streets and have been holding protests at various places in Kharar since Wednesday. The residents blocked the National Highway leading towards Ludhiana and Ropar on Thursday, causing long traffic jams. The residents allege that most of the times, the officials of Punjab Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) either do not pick calls or misbehave with the callers.

The protestors also alleged that some employees of the PSPCL were drunk during the duty hours and also misbehaved with the residents when they staged the protest.
