Ludhiana: 33,000 complaints pile up as PSPCL strike enters Day three
Three days into the PSPCL strike in Ludhiana, the number of electricity complaints lodged with the utility has risen to 33,000, according to reports. While power continues to flow from the major substations that remain operational, the ability to address local fault issues has slowed dramatically.
The strike has crippled the utility’s field machinery, limiting on‑site repair capacity and causing a near standstill in the restoration of local faults. The continued supply from the larger substations suggests that the broader grid remains partially functional, but the bottleneck at the distribution level means that many areas are experiencing intermittent or no service.
The accumulation of 33,000 complaints underscores the scale of the backlog. The delay in fault repair has left many areas without reliable power.
Officials have not yet provided a clear timeline for when the field machinery will be restored or when the backlog of complaints will be cleared. The strike, now in its third day, continues to test the utility’s capacity to manage both the industrial action and the essential service it provides.
