Sick Service
Staff crunch adds to power woes
Jalandhar, June 3
The services at the Nakodar subdivisional electricity office (Shehari Mandal) have virtually come to a halt with a constant shortage of electricity staff for the past two years. The situation is so dismal that there is hardly anybody present at its complaint centre as well.

Travelling discomforts
The last week’s untimely rainfall has sent a wave of tickling sensation to the nerves of all. At the same time, it has proved havoc for the already dilapidated conditions of roads. Bumpy roads, full of potholes, tell the tale of a sorry state of affairs in Jalandhar city. Despite spending crores of rupees on the maintenance of roads, the roads remain jerky, jolty, bumpy and potholed.

Dining Den
Pure pastry pleasure at Patisserie
Jalandhar, June 3
Imagine a birthday bash and the first thing that comes to your mind is yummy pictures of lip-smacking cakes, pastries and chocolate cookies. The mere thought of cakes simply leaves you craving for a yummy treat with more and more to eat. And when it comes to buying the best of cakes in the city, perhaps no other place has so much variety to offer as “The Patisserie” has.
