Pattan, Jan 6 : Residents of this held
Kashmir town and its adjoining areas are up in arms against the Power
Development Department (PDD) for resorting to unscheduled power cuts.
Residents of Wanigam, Wailoo, Khairgam,
Tilgam Payeen, Tilgam Bala Behrampora, , Kralpora, Chanderseer,
Gundaripora and Boherwani villages of Pattan tehsil and its adjoining areas
complained the erratic power supply not only compounds the problems of people,
but also causes hardships to students preparing for various examinations.
“Despite paying electricity bills on time
the PDD is resorting to unscheduled power cuts," residents said.
They said that not only the erratic power
supply but the low voltage compounds the problem. "We have to light
candles and lanterns while studying," said a group of students.
Residents threatened to take to the streets
in case PDD fails to improve the power supply in the area.
"We appeal the government to solve our
problem otherwise we will be forced to stage protests," they said.
