Chandigarh Power Crisis: Mayor Seeks Administrator’s Intervention
Chandigarh Mayor, Ms. Ravi Babla, has urgently appealed to the UT Administrator for immediate intervention to resolve the city’s escalating power crisis. Residents are facing widespread disruptions, including frequent power cuts and erratic voltage fluctuations.
The Mayor directly attributes these problems to the recent privatization of the city’s electricity department. She highlights the urgent need for swift action to restore uninterrupted power supply to all citizens.
Mayor Babla’s appeal also emphasizes the need for a more efficient complaint redressal system. Currently, residents face significant delays and difficulties in reporting and resolving power-related issues.
The situation underscores the growing concerns surrounding the privatization of essential services and its impact on the daily lives of ordinary citizens. The Administrator’s response and subsequent actions will be closely watched by residents and stakeholders alike, especially given the approaching festive season and the potential for increased electricity demand.
