Power disruption has also hit industrial production and manufacturing at some units in the city.

Online classes of students were also affected in many areas in the city. Some coaching institutes even suspended classes for the day because of power outages.

Traffic lights at some intersections were also non-functional because of the outage.

On Tuesday evening, the Chandigarh administration on Tuesday evening enforced the Essential Services Maintenance Act, banning strikes by the electricity department for six months.
