LUDHIANA: Despite tall promises of uninterrupted power supply and preparations for extreme weather, residents across Ludhiana were left reeling under massive power outages, some lasting up to 22 hours after a fierce sandstorm accompanied by gusty winds swept through the city on Saturday evening.
While the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) had assured citizens of robust infrastructure, the storm exposed glaring vulnerabilities. Adding to the frustration, residents claimed there was no clear communication from the authorities regarding restoration timelines. Many alleged repeated calls to helplines went unanswered. "The power went out early evening and didn't return till the next morning. We had no updates from PSPCL despite several complaints," said a resident from Model Town.
