Frequent power cuts in Mohali have left residents frustrated, prompting local leader Saini to question the government's assurances about electricity supply.
Several neighborhoods in Mohali have experienced repeated electricity interruptions over the past days, causing inconvenience to households and small businesses. Residents reported that the outages often occur during peak evening hours, affecting lighting, cooling and essential appliances.
Local political figure Saini publicly challenged the state government's statements that the power supply situation is under control. He argued that the recurring blackouts contradict official claims of stable electricity provision and urged authorities to address the root causes.
The Punjab government has previously assured citizens that ongoing maintenance and grid upgrades will soon resolve the issue. While officials have not provided a detailed timeline, they indicated that additional crews are being deployed to restore normal service as quickly as possible.
