A power strike that began earlier this week has left Gurugram without electricity, affecting thousands of households and businesses. The outage, which is part of a broader dispute between the state government and power distribution companies, has disrupted daily life across the city.
In response to the power cut, villagers from Rewari have blocked key roads leading into Gurugram, citing concerns over safety and the lack of power for essential services. The road closures have impeded the movement of goods and commuters, further straining local commerce.
Business owners in Gurugram report significant losses, with many shops and offices unable to operate without electricity. The strike has also raised concerns about the reliability of the state’s power infrastructure and the impact on the region’s economic activity.
Authorities have urged commuters to stay calm and to use alternate routes while the power dispute is being resolved. The government has pledged to negotiate with the involved parties to restore power as quickly as possible.
The incident highlights the broader challenges facing Haryana’s power sector and the need for improved coordination between state agencies and private utilities.
