Heavy rain and winds hit the region again on Monday, leaving most parts of the district in dark as the power supply remained disconnected for long hours. Residents of many societies alleged that their calls on the helpline numbers of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) went unanswered.
PSPCL officials were not available for the comment.
The storm on Sunday and subsequent rain on Monday exposed led to much criticism of the municipal corporation, which is yet to make preparations for the monsoon season.
Several former councilors said that the delay in the monsoon preparations will pose problems for residents as there are many low-lying areas in the city that are prone to waterlogging.
