Along with this, Kejriwal said that 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 has dreamed that electricity will be available 24 hours. No work has been done on transmission and distribution networks for the last 75 years. Infrastructure upgradation is being done on a large scale…I hope there will be no power cuts in Punjab next summer.
He said that farmers in Punjab are getting electricity for at least 8 hours for irrigation, which will soon be increased to the whole day. “Now we have moved towards the next phase, under which there should be 24-hour power supply,” he said. Kejriwal said the infrastructure upgrade includes laying 25,000 kilometers of new power wires, 8,000 new power transformers and 77 new power sub-stations.
