Ward number 31 struggles with no power, water

Ludhiana: The residents of ward number 31 are suffering due to interrupted electricity and water supply since Saturday night. The residents said power supply snapped around midnight and has been erratic ever since. Because of this, water supply is disrupted too as tube wells could not be functional without power. The officials said water tankers will be provided in these areas.
The residents from Gurmail Nagar, Giaspura Flats and Maha Maya Nagar were the worst affected. The residents from affected areas claimed that for almost three days they were facing water scarcity problem due to power cuts. Despite complaints to councillor Sonia Sharma, nothing has been done in this regard, they said. Situation has come to such a pass that drinking water is also not available at home anymore, they said.
Meanwhile, the civic officials said they were not aware of any power disruption in the area but said they will organise water tankers to cater to the immediate need.
Councillor Sonia Sharma said the electricity was interrupted since 12 in the night on Saturday and in the absence of electricity, tube wells could not be made functional. She said she is making alternate arrangements for providing water in these localities.
