Punjab govt cuts work hours of its offices from today amid major power crisis

India Today  

As North India reels under an intense heat wave driving power demand to new highs, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Thursday ordered government offices to reduce their timings from July 2. The Punjab CM ordered to cut down on power supply to high energy-consuming industries as the electricity demand in the state soared to over 14,000 MW a day. The Punjab CM said farmers are losing precious paddy transplantation time due to power breakdowns and added that the agriculture sector needed to be prioritised for uninterrupted power supply. PUNJAB CM SETS UP 3-MEMBER COMMITTEE Capt Amarinder Singh also urged the protesting PDD employees to call off their stir.
