LUDHIANA:

The worst-hit areas included the District Administrative Complex, Feroze Gandhi Market, Kipps Market, College Road, and Sarabha Nagar, among others.

The outage began around 8:20 pm and continued till early Sunday morning, leaving many residential and commercial establishments in complete darkness.

According to PSPCL officials, the power disruption was prompted due to a technical snag in the 66 KV underground cables near Sarabha Nagar. "The fault impacted over 15 feeders of 11 KV, severely affecting power supply to areas under Aggar Nagar, Model Town and City West division."
