Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab government has taken a major step to ease the lives of farmers by ensuring uninterrupted daytime electricity for agricultural activities. The initiative has brought significant relief to the farming community, allowing farmers to carry out fieldwork during the day and return home in the evening, much like regular office-goers.
Bhagwant Mann Government Ensures Daytime Power Supply for Farmers in Punjab
Highlighting the impact of the decision, the Aam Aadmi Party’s Punjab unit said that reliable daytime power has ended farmers’ dependence on late-night electricity schedules. This has made irrigation and other farming operations more convenient, safer and better aligned with daily family life.
Farmers have welcomed the move
The availability of continuous power during daylight hours has also contributed to improved productivity and reduced physical strain on farmers, who earlier had to remain awake at night to operate tubewells. Farmers have welcomed the move, stating that it has positively affected both their health and work-life balance.
The Bhagwant Mann-led government has reiterated its commitment to strengthening the agriculture sector through farmer-friendly policies. Providing uninterrupted power supply for farming is being seen as a key step towards supporting rural livelihoods and ensuring sustainable agricultural growth in Punjab.
