Ludhiana: A month on, PSPCL’s meter box overhaul moves at snail’s pace
A month after PSPCL vowed to overhaul the district’s ageing electricity network, the reality on the streets paints a starkly different picture. Broken and unsealed meter boxes continue to pose a threat to public safety, highlighting a widening gap between the power corporation’s announcements and on-ground action.
On September 13, PSPCL had unveiled a statewide initiative aimed at upgrading power lines and equipment in Ludhiana, with a key focus on replacing rusted or damaged meter boxes with new, sealed ones. The move was intended to safeguard residents from moisture, electrical shocks and potential tampering.
