Mohali :
The Shiromani Akali Dal staged a protest outside the DC office in Mohali today against prolonged power cuts and irregular electricity supply across Punjab. The protest was led by Akali Dal Mohali Halqa In-charge and District President Parvinder Singh Sohana, along with party leaders and workers.
Sohana said prolonged power cuts were causing difficulties for residents, farmers and industrialists, while irregular supply was affecting industrial production and causing financial losses to businesses.
The Akali Dal submitted a five-point demand, seeking an immediate end to prolonged power cuts in villages and industrial areas, advance publication of area-wise power-cut schedules, uninterrupted supply to industrial feeders, replacement of faulty transformers and power lines, and a relief mechanism for consumers and industries affected by power disruptions.
Sohana also demanded that the government issue a daily district-level public report on power cuts and the actual electricity supply position to ensure transparency for consumers.
During the protest, party workers burnt an effigy of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and later submitted a memorandum of their demands to Nikhil Arora, District Programme Officer, Mohali.
Bibi Paramjit Kaur Landran, Sukhwinder Singh Shindi, Sarbjit Singh Paras, Advocate Sukhbir Singh Gill and other party leaders also addressed the gathering and urged the government to take immediate steps to improve the power supply situation.
