Residents of Ramgarh Bhudda village today staged a protest against PSPCL officials for failing to restore electricity supply to their village for the past two days. The protesters said power supply to the village from the Babhat grid had not been restored after the dust storm on Sunday night.

A group of villagers, led by Karam Singh, Amarjot Singh, Parvinder Singh and Harmandeep Singh, complained that PSPCL had set up a grid on the shamlat land of their village, but they were being denied power from this grid.

“The Babhat grid is far-off from the village due to which there are frequent disruptions in the supply, almost on a daily basis,” said residents.

The residents alleged that they had contacted PSPCL officials several times, but the supply had not been ensured. Sans power, water supply had also been affected, they complained.

“It has become difficult for us without electricity and water. People are facing a tough time staying indoors in the scorching heat,” said Sushma Devi, a resident.

PSPCL Executive Engineer Khushwinder Singh said: “The problem was due to strong winds in the recent days. Our employees are trying to restore power supply. It will be done soon.”
