The Youth Akali Dal, along with various traders associations, staged a protest against the Congress government over unscheduled power cuts, false promises of providing power at Rs 5 per unit to the industry and high power tariff in the state.
During the protest outside the railway station here, the protesters distributed hand fans (pakhis) to public and raised slogans against the government.
Gurdeep Singh Gosha, district president of Youth Akali Dal, and Beopar Mandal leader Sunil Mehra said the long unscheduled power cuts were causing problems to everyone in the state, including the traders.
