Power cuts ranging from two to three hours will be imposed every day in Punjab for the next three days for all categories of consumers till Wednesday.

A statement issued by the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) quoted Chairman-cum-Managing Director A Venu Prasad as saying that this was the need of hour due to the coal crisis. Venu Prasad also made an appeal to consumers to use power judiciously. He said that inspite of procurement of power at exorbitant rates, PSPCL is going for load shedding across the state on all categories of consumers in order to bridge the gap between demand and supply.
