Chandigarh Sets Time-Bound Service Standards for Power Distribution Complaints
The Chandigarh administration has notified 24 electricity-related services under the Punjab Right to Service Act, setting strict deadlines for the Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited (CPDL) to address power faults and consumer complaints. Common issues like fuse blowouts must be fixed within four hours in urban areas and eight hours in rural areas. Repairs for service line breaks, LT and HT faults, underground cables, and transformer failures have specified timeframes, with temporary power arrangements required during delays. Officers are held accountable for meeting these timelines.
