With the city witnessing two to three power cuts a day, residents are having a tough time going about their routine in the scorching summer heat.
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) officials said the demand for power has increased to 40%. “We are having trouble meeting the demand for power due to technical snags in two thermal power plants,”a spokesperson said.
Sukhwinder Singh, a resident of Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar, which is one of the posh localities of the city, said, “We are facing two to three power cuts a day. Outages take place even at night.”
