Punjab: CM Bhagwant Mann assures uninterrupted power for paddy season
As paddy transplantation season starts from Tuesday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday reiterated his government’s commitment to provide regular and uninterrupted power supply to the farmers during paddy season.
In a statement issued on Monday, Mann said that the state government has taken a conscientious decision to conserve the state’s precious natural resource in terms of groundwater by allowing paddy transplantation in a phased manner across the state from June 10 to June 17.
The CM said that Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) had already been directed to ensure minimum eight hours of power supply to farmers during the ongoing paddy season.
