Hajin, Jan 1: Residents of
this held Kashmir town are facing pesky power cuts in harsh winter
season.
Locals said during 24 hours, the electricity supply remains
affected for 12 to 13 hours. “We even contacted PDD officials but they didn’t
pay heed towards us. The power failure in the town has revealed that government
is continuously neglecting us,” locals said.
They said despite Hajin
being a part of Speaker Muhammad Akbar Lone’s constituency, they are being
deprived of basic necessity—power supply.
“The examinations of our
children are underway and the pesky power cuts are affecting their studies,”
they said.
“After every ten minutes electricity is cut off,” they said.
“Officials don’t listen to us.
The power cuts are also affecting the
water supply to the households. “Women in the town have to fetch water from
Jhelum even in harsh winter season due to electricity cuts. The water pumps here
also turn defunct due to the electricity cuts,” said a local Abdul
Ahad.
A group of traders said power failure was severely affecting their
business.
