There will be no power outages in Punjab! Kejriwal’s guarantee

Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal stated on Wednesday that massive reforms are underway in the power sector in Punjab and promised that there will be no power outages from next summer. He said that Punjab has never seen such floods in its history…At such a time, our MP Ashok Mittal announced that one child from each family of those who died would be given a job at his university…About 60 people died, he offered jobs to all, and 35 accepted the offer…I congratulate Ashok Mittal for this thoughtfulness. Kejriwal also said, “I want to congratulate the people of Punjab on the occasion for which we have gathered here…No party, no Chief Minister, and no central government dreamed of 24-hour power supply. For the last 75 years, no work has been done on the transmission and distribution networks. Infrastructure upgrades are underway on a large scale…I hope there will be no power outages in Punjab next summer.” He said that farmers in Punjab are getting at least eight hours of electricity for irrigation, which will soon be increased to a full day. He said, “Now we have moved to the next stage, which should provide 24-hour power supply.” Kejriwal said that the infrastructure upgrade includes laying 25,000 kilometers of new power cables, 8,000 new power transformers, and 77 new power substations.
