Punjab's biggest rehab centre running without power over non-payment of bill
India TodayOne of the biggest rehabilitation centres in Punjab, which houses over 450 inmates, has been compelled to live in the dark for nearly two months after the power connection of the complex was disconnected on January 10. The Punjab State Power Corporation Limited has also installed solar power panels on the roofs of the NGO's campus, but this has not been adjusted either. Chairman and founder of Prabh Asra, Shamsher Singh, raised the matter with former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channy in December 2021. He told India Today that the NGO has been paying the electricity bill regularly, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, it became difficult for them to manage financially after the centre received more than 2,100 patients. Many of the inmates are bedridden," President Prabh Asra Universal Disabled Caretaker Social Welfare Society told India Today.
