A day before the commencement of transplantation of paddy, several parts of the city faced power outage for a long period right from midnight to noon. It caused undue inconvenience to a large number of residents who were forced to wake up in the middle of night.
Vikram Goel, a resident of New Amritsar, said last night was extremely hot and humid. The hours-long power cut compounded the residents’ trouble. He found the two phases not working late last night. Much to his annoyance, power supply was discontinued in the wee hours. “I tried to register a complaint through the PSPCL app at 4 am, but no response came forthwith.”
