Earlier, residents of SBS Nagar complained about frequent power cuts.

The PSPCL issued a statement, mentioning, “The feeder initially tripped at full load (234 amps) around midnight on June 10 and continued to trip intermittently throughout the night. It was restored by 4:45 am but tripped again after a few hours due to a faulty over-current earth fault relay at the grid substation. The malfunctioning relay was promptly replaced.”
