‘No need for power-cuts if…’ Navjot Singh Sidhu tweets solutions for Punjab’s crisis

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Friday joined the chorus of protests over the ongoing power crisis in Punjab and insisted that power cuts or regulation of office timings are not necessary if “we act in the right direction”. “Truth of power costs, cuts, power purchase agreements and how to give free and 24 hour power to the people of Punjab:- 1. There is no need for power-cuts in Punjab or for the chief minister to regulate office timings or AC use of the common people … if we act in the right direction,” Sidhu tweeted.

Sidhu stated that Punjab is paying more to buy power at an average cost of Rs. 4.54 per unit, when the national average cost is Rs.3.85 per unit
