Residents of Sector 80 complained that Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) infrastructure in the area poses safety hazards to residents and in the public area.

Live wires, they say, are passing dangerously close to the footpath at one spot while nearby, loose connection wires hang from a transformer, posing a risk to pedestrians, morning and evening walkers in a park.

Wave Estate, Sector 85 resident Shabdeep Singh Sandhu said, "Live wires are dangling within a touching distance over the footpath where hundreds of school students take the road to school.

Phase 10 residents also complained that PSPCl officials' negligence can become fatal to residents here.

PSPCL officials said they will get the spot checked and necessary action will be taken at the earliest.

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).
