Even during summers Shopian villages face power cuts
Shopian: Unscheduled power cuts that too during the summer season is making the life of various villagers in Shopian district miserable.
Residents from several areas of the district have alleged that their villages are facing power cuts even though it is summer time in Kashmir.
“The Power Development Department has left us in darkness. We are being meted out a step motherly treatment,” said Rayees Ahmad, a local resident from Nadigam.
Notably, residents of Kumdallan, Nadigam, Kutpora, Lonepora, Narsoo, Tachloo, Manzimpora, Check Sidiq Khan, Tulran, Kharwara, Nildor, Abalwan, Nagishern, Kachdoora, Hermain, Mantribugh, Hanipora, Gahind, Chakoora, DK pora, Landoora and adjacent areas have expressed strong resentment over irregular power supply in the area and appealed authorities to look into the issue.
They alleged that even in summer season people are receiving a power supply as per winter schedule. The locals appealed the authorities to come to their rescue and ensure that regular power supply is maintained to all the villages.
“Basically those areas which are being fed through Landoora receiving station are witnessing frequent power cuts,” the locals said.
They said that they have raised the issue with the concerned officers so many times but so far nothing has been done on ground.
The locals have now requested Chief Engineer Power Development Corporation to look into the matter and redress the issue at an earliest so that they can heave a sigh of relief.
Despite repeated attempts executive engineer PDD division Shopian couldn’t be contacted for his version.
