[Resolved]  Punjab State Electricity Board — power cuts leading to closure of industry

Dear Sir,
i have a medium scale hosiery manufacturing unit in Ludhiana. 50 % of our production is exported to middle east and europe. These days the electricity situation in the city is so poor that we are unable to meet our orders on time, as a result most of our orders for domestic and export markets stand cancelled.. This manufacturing unit is slowly becoming loss making venture.. diesel genrators stop picking heavy loads after 2-3 hours of continous use.. moreover all machienes do not run on genrators.. It is near to impossible run industry without power.

Whole city uses genrators for long hours and near 12.30 pm you can see sky turning black in colour due to emission from gen sets.. respiratory diseases are increasing day by day in city..

In this situation how can we fight rising global temprature, i think we are the largest contributors in global warming..

massive use of diesel due to power cuts causes shortage if diesel in city and we run like animals from one pump to another in search of diesel..

It is becoming impossible to run factory when we have 6 hour cut in working hours of 9am to 6pm.. plz help out i am sure that govt can definately come up with some effective solution.

Thanks and regards
