Chandigarh Mayor Addresses Power Crisis, Blames Privatization
Imagine the city of Chandigarh is having a hard time with its electricity.
The power keeps going off, and the lights flicker a lot, making it difficult for everyone.
The Mayor of the city is worried because people are complaining.
She thinks the problem started when the city decided to let a private company handle the electricity instead of the government.
She's asking the city leader to fix the problem quickly.
The mayor wants the electricity to be reliable, so everyone can go about their day without interruptions, especially since the citizens are paying more money for electricity than they used to.
Chandigarh Mayor expresses concern over the ongoing power crisis.
Mayor attributes the crisis to the privatization of the electricity department.
Frequent electricity cuts and voltage fluctuations affect residents and businesses.
Public confidence in the electricity services has diminished.
