On Thursday, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) held protests across Ludhiana district, Punjab, to voice their discontent over prolonged power cuts. Party leaders, including Advocate Parupkar Singh Ghuman, accused the state government of failing to provide uninterrupted electricity and claimed that the power infrastructure had deteriorated since their party was in power. Ghuman noted that Punjab was once a power-surplus state under the SAD regime, but alleged that the current Congress and Aam Aadmi Party governments have 'ruined' the system. Former cabinet minister Maheshinder Singh Grewal echoed these sentiments during a protest in Atam Nagar, stating that the government has not provided basic amenities like electricity, which has led to statewide protests. Senior SAD leader Jathedar Hira Singh Gabria criticized the government for allegedly trying to sell valuable land belonging to the power corporation and vowed that the party would protect employee rights. The protests saw participation from several key party figures, indicating a unified front against the government's handling of the power crisis.
