Kangan villages reel under darkness

Kangan, Jan 11 : Many villages in this held Kashmir area are reeling under darkness from past many weeks as transformers in their areas have developed a technical snag.

Residents of Kijpora, Thune and Kudhar Wussan said a transformer in their area developed a technical snag and their areas have been reeling under darkness for past many weeks.

 “We are facing immense hardships in absence of electricity. Assurances of Power Development Department (PDD) to get the transformer repaired at the earliest proved to be a hoax as nothing has been done till date,” locals said.

 Residents of Konmmula-B said that PDD had failed to install a separate transformer in their area.

 “We have been demanding a transformer for the past four years. However, our pleas have fallen flat on deaf ears,” they added.      
 “The Kipora village is without electricity from past two weeks and nobody is listening to our pleas, our village transformer developed a snag but till date it has not been repaired,” said Muhammad Yusuf of Kijpora.

 Residents of Wusan said that transformer in their area developed a snag more than month ago.

 “PDD took it for repairing but till date it has not been reinstalled,” said Abdul Rashid of Wusan.
