Protesters hold placards and raise slogans against the PSPCL during a protest in Ludhiana on Wednesday. Ashwani Dhiman
Ludhiana, June 16
The ongoing dharna by members of the Janta Nagar Small Scale Manufacturers’Union entered second day today.
Jaswinder Singh Thukral, a protester, said in case after the dharna, the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) failed to listen to their genuine demand, the agitation will be intensified and the PSPCL will be held accountable for it. Thukral said it was unfortunate that today industry was on roads due to the wrong policies of the PSPCL and if units were shut, the state will suffer in absence of revenue generation. The protesters are on dharna as the PSPCL had slapped huge penalties on industries for power overload for a full one year. —TNS
