Business owners in Ludhiana plan a street protest on September 8 against Powercom, citing ongoing power shortages.
Ludhiana’s business community has announced a street protest scheduled for September 8, targeting Powercom over the persistent power crisis affecting the region.
The shortage of electricity has forced many small and medium enterprises to curtail operations, leading to mounting financial losses and uncertainty about future viability.
Organisers, representing a coalition of local entrepreneurs, said the demonstration aims to pressure Powercom and authorities to expedite restoration of reliable power supply and address billing disputes.
Powercom has not issued an official response to the planned protest, while city officials have urged both parties to resolve the issue through dialogue.
The rally is expected to draw a sizable crowd from across the city’s commercial districts, highlighting the growing frustration among the business sector.
