Previous govts deliberately damaged thermal plants of Punjab: Kang

Chandigarh, May 14 (UNI) The AAP government in Punjab on Saturday lambasted the previous Congress and Akali-BJP governments for their self-serving agendas and decisions, which consequentially caused power crisis in the state.
Addressing a press conference at party headquarters here, AAP Punjab's chief spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang said the traditional political parties used power generation resources of Punjab for their selfish gains and deliberately damaged the thermal power plants.
He said the heat wave this year has broken all records and highest temperature was recorded in the last 108 years, due to which, the demand for electricity increased by 40-45 per cent in April and May, which was an average of 10900 MW. Whereas last year, the average daily power consumption in these months was only 6500 MW.
