Amritsar’s ESIC hospital, located on Majitha Road, has been experiencing a complete power outage for the past four days. The prolonged interruption has left the facility without normal electricity, affecting lighting, medical equipment and basic operations.
Patients admitted for treatment and doctors attending to them have reported considerable inconvenience. The lack of power has forced staff to rely on limited backup arrangements, slowing down routine procedures and increasing the difficulty of providing timely care.
