Khansahib, Jan 7 :
Protests broke out in Khansahib and adjacent villages against Power Development
Department against unscheduled power cuts.
People took to streets and
all the activities were halted in Khansahib, Kremshore, Raithan and other
adjacent villages to protest against the irregular power supply. Angry people
disrupted traffic movement for hours in Kremshore which caused inconvenience to
passengers.
“On one side PDD is increasing tariff and on the other there
are power cuts for hours, we hardly witness electricity nowadays,” said Muhammad
Sikandar, a resident of Kremshore.
‘PDD has failed to provide
electricity as per schedule. Nobody is listening to our appeals, now we decided
to protest on roads against Government and PDD,” said Muzaffar Ahmad, hailing
from Khansahib. Usually there remains complete blackout for days, he
added.
Power is virtually sold by the PDD employees working at Receiving
Station Khansahib to stone crusher owners without caring for the general public,
locals alleged.
“Power remains on hardly for an hour during evening time
amid freezing climate. At least power should remain available in the evening as
per schedule,” said Merajudin of Kaich Razgeer
village.
