Officials say these outages are part of efforts to improve and strengthen the power distribution network. However , the timing of these outages is causing concern as the state also faces a heatwave.
The PSPCL says the scheduled outages are necessary for maintenance and modernisation work on the electricity network. These upgrades aim to improve the reliability of the power supply and reduce breakdowns. During this period people in areas may not have power for up to 8 to 10 hours a day.

The outages will be implemented in phases across cities:
On April 22 there will be power cuts in Mohali from 10 am to 6 pm, Ludhiana from 10 am to 5 pm Amritsar from 10 am to 4 pm Patiala from 1 pm to 5 pm and Bathinda from 9 am to 2 pm.
