Ludhiana: Rain hinders repair of electricity tower, residents complain of power outage

Afternoon showers played spoilsport on Thursday as it delayed the repair of a 66 KV electricity tower on Gill Road, which was damaged a day earlier after a speeding truck rammed into it.

This had resulted in power outages in nearby areas and even though power is being supplied currently through the Dholewal sub-station, residents of nearby areas complained of frequent outages and low voltage.

The heavy showers put a dampener on the plans of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) officials, who were reinstalling the tower and disappointed the affected residents and shopkeepers. Mridhul, who owns a shop nearby, said his work has been affected due to the power cuts.
