All state-run thermal units functional, situation eases in Punjab:

After facing criticism for power interruptions for over a month, the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) today heaved a sigh of relief when all eight units of the state-run thermal plants and five out of seven private units started operating.
Farmers’ unions, meanwhile, postponed their statewide agitation that was to start on Monday following a meeting with the PSPCL senior officer. The unions were assured of improved power supply in the state.

“The PSPCL has assured farmers that fields will get four-hour power every day or eight-hour supply every alternate days. It has also promised that there will be no more power cuts in villages and residential areas,” said Buta Singh Burjgill, president, BKU (Ekta Dakaunda).
