Amritsar, May 15

With no respite from the rising mercury and heatwave, Punjab State Power Corporation Limited has decided to withdraw the Monday shutdown, which is a weekly scheduled power cut for maintenance.

PSPCL officials claimed that there was no scarcity of power till date and they were providing uninterrupted supply in the city circle. However, residents have been complaining about the unscheduled power cuts in urban localities.

Rajiv Parashar, Deputy Chief Engineer, City Circle, said: “There is no power cut being imposed in the city. There might be short shutdown for maintenance in some localities. Otherwise, we are not going to shut off power on Monday following the directions of the government. In wake of heatwave, the government has decided not to shut off power.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
