Amritsar - With power playing truant and prices of petrol and diesel on an all-time high, farmers in the district are at their wits ends. With paddy season approaching, farmers have urged the government to either ensure 24-hour power supply to run their tubewells or provide fuel at subsidised rates. The farmers said even after Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal's assurance of eight-hour regular supply, the ground situation was pathetic.
