A three-day strike by power utility employees in Haryana left thousands of households grappling with prolonged electricity and water outages, disrupted businesses and forced police deployment. A 48-hour power cut on Gurugram's Sohna Road led to widespread protests and a severe water crisis for residents and businesses before electricity was finally restored. Every summer, Gurugram’s power crisis returns despite crores of rupees being spent annually on upgrading the city’s electricity infrastructure.
