Residents of Chandigarh can hope for an uninterrupted power supply by the end of January. UT Chief Engineer SK Jaitley said the generation from the source would revive by that time.
UT authorities had announced these cuts during the end of December. This was due to a decrease of entitlement of power to UT with the outage of various central generation plants like Chamera-1, Bhakra, Sangrauli etc. Due to this, there is a gap of around 20 MW between demand and supply of power in the city.
Currently, the residents have to face 1 or 1 and half hour power cut everyday. The UT authorities have introduced a weekly day off in the industrial areas on a rotational basis to save power for domestic use.
