Nayagaon residents are feeling the heat due to frequent power cuts owing to ageing infrastructure and lack of planning by the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL).
PSPCL is setting up a new 66Kv feeder for some villages, which is also a cause for power outages. Overloaded transformers and transmission lines have further aggravated the situation as the corporation failed to plan and forecast the load for the summers.
Manjeet Singh, president of the Shivalik Vihar Residents’ Welfare Association, said, “There are unscheduled power cuts twice a day due to poor infrastructure. Loose wires are commonplace and despite registering complaints with PSPCL, nothing has been done so far.”
