Power connections to 13,000 tube wells by March

Patiala : More than 13,000 farmers who had applied for power connections for tube wells in the general category till March 1990 may be given connections by the end of March next by the Punjab State Electricity Board (PSEB). The farmers had applied for connections and had also got test reports with the PSEB by the end of March in 1990. But the PSEB did not release connections as it was not in a position to bear the load due to power shortage.
