City businessmen staged a protest outside the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) office at Ferozepur Road on Tuesday over heavy penalties imposed on several businessmen in the last one year for using more load in their factories than the sanctioned load.
Five businessmen sat raised slogans against the corporation officials and demanded that the penalties be rolled back. They said that many of them have received power bills to the tune of ₹5 to 15 lakh for the entire year.
They added that they are already facing losses due to Covid-19 pandemic and even the PSPCL chairman has refused to speak to them.
