Chandigarh, July 3

At 3,018 lakh units, Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) on Friday achieved the record of generating maximum power in a day.

The corporation’s Chairman and Managing Director, A Venu Prasad, said the previous record was for generating 2,999 lakh units on July 3 last year.

Prasad said the PSPCL had been providing eight-hour daily supply to its farm consumers since June 10, besides 24-hour supply to other categories of consumers.

He said all thermal (1,616 MW) and hydel (850 MW) units of PSPCL and IPPs (3,654 MW) within the state had been pressed into service and were running at full capacity to meet the daily demand of 13,144 MW in the state.

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).
