Chandigarh, October 11

Amid reports of coal shortage, the power supply in the city remained normal during the day. Chief Engineer CB Ojha said there was no power crisis in the UT and they were drawing power as per their requirement.

He, however, clarified that power cuts being imposed in the city were to carry out routine maintenance works.

As most of the city’s electricity is drawn from hydro-electricity plants, the Administration sees no major crisis even in the wake of short supply of coal. On October 10, the peak demand was 226 MW and minimum demand was 166 MW. On October 9, the peak demand was 247 MW.

Ojha said the supply was more than adequate to meet the demand. — TNS

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).
