Mercury rising, power cuts back

With peak summer months here, power cuts are back to haunt Punjab. HT Image Several parts of the state are witnessing power cuts, and the Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd is struggling to cope with the sharp increase in demand for electricity as a result of the rising mercury. While two days ago, Punjab had surrendered power from the central allocation due to less demand, but on Thursday, the state fell short of nearly 46 lakh units of electricity, resulting in imposition of power cuts. A poor monsoon will result in long power cuts," said a PSPCL official. Despite purchasing 114 lakh units of power from outside, the PSPCL could manage only 1,350 lakh units, forcing it to impose cuts, he said.
