JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) expressed serious concern over the overall power scenario, especially in Jammu region and the callous attitude of the government towards the people’s problems.
In a statement issued here on Monday, PCC Chief Spokesperson, Ravinder Sharma said that there are reports of long scheduled and unscheduled power cuts in Jammu region and the people are suffering in the scorching heat. The most strange thing is that if a transformer gets damaged, it takes days and weeks to replace it and even a minor fault which should be rectified immediately, takes hours and the affected people are left on the mercy of God, he added.
Sharma said that Power Development Department (PDD) should take extra measures to provide regular uninterrupted power supply to the people of Jammu region in the summer season and all infrastructure related power works should be postponed till the temperature level goes down to normal, so that the general public may not suffer due to prolong power cuts.
