CM Bhagwant Mann
CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, has written a letter to Union Energy Minister R.K. Singh  requesting additional power from the central pool for the paddy season. In the letter, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has demanded 1000 MW of electricity from June 15 to October 15.
It is worth mentioning here that the Meteorological Department has predicted the possibility of less rain in Punjab, due to which additional electricity will be required. It is clear that if the rainfall in Punjab is less than normal then the paddy crop may be affected due to power shortage. Therefore, the Punjab government needs the support of the central government.
