The power transformers stock scheme, meant to ensure ready availability of equipment in case of power supply breakdown, is facing a shortage of equipment.

“The department is faced with the problem of replacing damaged transformers in a given time in the wake of non-availability of transformers, resulting in delay in power supply resumption,” claim sources in the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam.

Though the Power Department is required to replace a damaged transformer within 24 to 48 hours, the unavailability of equipment results in delay and harassment to consumers most of the time, claim sources. The power cuts have led to protests and demonstrations many a time in the past few months. — 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).
