Hold officers accountable for power crisis, says Punjab Cooperation Minister Sukhjinder Randhawa
Even as Punjab Cooperation Minister Sukhjinder Randhawa questioned the role of the bureaucracy in “perpetuating” the power crisis in the state, Anandpur Sahib MP Manish Tewari, CM Amarinder Singh’s confidant, today took on former minister Navjot Singh Sidhu over his barbs against his own government.
Randhawa, in a letter to the CM, said the officers must be held accountable for failure to anticipate the impending crisis. He said power consumption had risen from 10,155 MW in 2014-15 to 13,148 MW in 2021-22. But the PSPCL had made no arrangements to fill the demand and supply gap.
