However in order to avoid inconvenience to consumers, the rapid action teams for fault resolutions/maintain of supply were allowed to continue their assignments. The PEECC resolved that this pen down along with tools down shall continue for three days till Thursday and on Thursday a big rally shall proceed from Panama Chowk PDD office to Div Commisioner office where after deliberations by the committee members with the divisional commissioner further course of action shall be adopted as the government has failed to Re- constitute the committee and take all stakeholders into confidence.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
