A prolonged electricity outage of four to five hours disrupted daily life in Mohali, with no resolution reported by the end of the day.
Mohali experienced an extensive power failure that lasted between four and five hours, according to reports from local media. The outage began in the morning and persisted well into the afternoon, leaving households, businesses, and public facilities without electricity.
Residents described the situation as distressing, citing difficulties in carrying out routine activities such as cooking, studying, and operating small enterprises. Many relied on generators and battery backups, but the prolonged nature of the cut strained these alternatives.
Local authorities have not provided an official statement on the cause of the failure or a timeline for restoration. As of the end of the day, the power supply remained intermittent, and officials were reportedly assessing the grid to identify the fault.
The incident underscores the vulnerability of the region's power infrastructure, especially during peak demand periods. Authorities are expected to address the issue promptly to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
