Srinagar: Even after brewing resentment against Power Development Department, the power woes continue to haunt people of Srinagar city in cold and chill conditions.
Reports said that there is no respite for the city residents from both scheduled and unscheduled power cuts. Not only during the day, but the power remains off even during the night, thus giving sleepless nights to the people.
As a part of this grim scenario, the residents of flood affected areas including Jawahar Nagar, Mehjoor Nagar, Natipora, Raj Bagh and adjoining areas continue to spend their evening hours in darkness while even during the day time, pesky power cuts are witnesses frequently.
The power failures have been making matters worse for us. The power continues to play hide and seek and sometimes we didnt receive supply for days together, said a resident of Mehjoor Nagar to CNS adding that though they pay the fatty bills to department on monthly basis and yet the PDP fails to supply them electricity on schedule basis.
Pertinently power woes continues to haunt people living in all the three Parliament segments of Kashmir including Central, South and North Kashmir. A PDD official told CNS that the situation is grim as the consumers use heavy electrical gadgets. We are busy in chalking out a strategy to supply electricity to people on schedule basis, he said.
