Residents of Phase 9 and 10 in Mohali remained without power supply for almost 12 hours.

Locals said there was a blackout from 11 pm to 11 am today. They said normal supply resumed only at 1 pm.

Manpreet Singh of Phase 10 said, “There has been erratic power supply for the past several months. No one picks up the phone at PSPCL to address the complaint.”

Irate residents said there was no staff at night to fix technical snags. It was at 6 am that PSPCL staff began looking for the fault. “First, they said there was an issue with one of the jumpers. Later, they said the transformer was having an issue. Power outage has become a routine affair,” said Amanpreet Singh of Phase 9.

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).
