Residents of some parts of Chandigarh continued to face power outages on Wednesday morning with electricity supply remaining disrupted after the employees of the electricity department went on a three-day strike against privatisation.
Harried residents of Chandigarh, which is the country’s first planned city, blamed the city administration for remaining a mute spectator, leaving them in lurch as the power outages crippled the city.
Congress MP from Anandpur Sahib Manish Tewari sought intervention of Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the matter, saying there is chaos and anarchy and all essential services have come to a standstill.
