Mohali continues to reel under long power outages

The power supply in many areas of Mohali and Kharar on Wednesday was affected leaving residents irked in the scorching heat.

Due to a fire in the power grid in Phase 1 on Tuesday, the supply was affected in many residential and industrial areas of Mohali, with residents shelling out money for costly diesel for their generators.

Kulwant Singh, former president of Residents Welfare Association (RWA), Phase 11 and present councillor of ward number 18, said that he had been raising the issue in his area for a long time but no heed has been paid. Kulwant added that there are many unscheduled power cuts and power fluctuations. “People complained of power fluctuation in our area due to which many electric appliances get affected,” he said.
