A plan by the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) to install over 234 transformers in Ludhiana within 90 days, announced before the Ludhiana West byelection, has stalled in Rishi Nagar's F block. Six months post-election, residents report no significant progress, with erected poles left non-functional and equipment worth ₹3 lakh lying idle. A junior engineer cited a private contractor abandoning the project midway and his own injury as reasons for the delay, with efforts to onboard a new contractor ongoing.
