STATE TIMES NEWS

JAMMU: Amidst the unscheduled and prolonged power cuts in Jammu City, Apni Party’s senior leader and Provincial Secretary & Membership Incharge, Dr Rohit Gupta appealed to J&K administration to address worst ever power crisis especially in the localities in Jammu West. Dr Rohit criticized the functionaries over failure to cope with the power crisis as Jammu City is reeling under an unprecedented power shortage in the past several days forcing residents to take to the streets.
He pinned the onus on the J&K administration and urged them to at least account for it, if not resolve the crisis. He said several towns and villages have been deprived of electricity for 10 to 12 hours in the last few weeks.
Dr Rohit blamed the J&K Government for not doing enough to resolve the power crisis. This is first time we are witnessing such a scenario in J&K.
While expressing his concern over power crisis, Dr Rohit urged the PDD to take the cognisance of power crisis and problems being faced by people due to it.
He said it was the responsibility of J&K government to make estimation of the required power to the J&K Union Territory and especially to the Jammu region during the Summer season but they failed miserably and their incompetence is causing lot of hardship the common people.
Dr Rohit said, in the recent history of Jammu and Kashmir politics, Jammuites have not been humiliated the way they are being poorly treated at this time.
Appealing to LG Manoj Sinha to intervene into the matter otherwise the common man is facing nightmarish experience with no proper schedule of the power in the region which is unacceptable as people were expecting round the clock supply under the LG’s administration, said Dr Rohit Gupta Provincial Secretary & Membership Incharge of Apni Party.
