power cuts

A 90 minute (one hour and 30 minutes)of power cuts has been imposed in the entire city. So all residents sweat it out in the entire summer. It is April and power cuts are already on.
Imagine what would happen in May and June when the temperature sizzles and you get baked in the sun.
But wait, not the entire city will face the wrath.
The Laat Sahib, or the Governor Sahib will not face any power cuts. The sprawling 100 odd acres of Raj Bhawan, which houses the Governor shall not face any power cuts.
And the reason for the power cuts is not far to seek. Chandigarh still does not produce any electricity, and purchases from all over. This time they claim they do not have the money to buy power.
So the dream city of Le Courbusier sweats it out!
