Dooru village resident’s stage protest over non functional transformer
Anantnag: The residents of Check Peth Larkipora village in Dooru hamlet of south Kashmir’s Anantnag district staged a protest against PDD saying that a transformer installed in the village has been left non functional.
The protestors said that since last month they are suffering due to erratic power supply as the transformer from which they were getting supply was critically overloaded.
They said that after hectic efforts a new transformer was sanctioned for the area and the same was installed there but due to unknown reasons the authorities are yet to make it functional.
They further added that they are suffering in absence of the power supply in this bone chilling winter.
Basit Ahmad, a local resident said that since last several days they are without electricity and the authorities have failed to take cognizance of the issue.
He said that as board and university exams are going on but in absence of electricity the student’s community is left with no other option to shift to other places as they cannot study during the dark evenings.
“We have brought this issue into the notice of higher ups who always give lame excuses and assure that it will made functional very soon but nothing has been done on ground,” the locals said.
They requested higher ups to look into the matter and make the transformer functional so that locals won’t have to suffer anymore.
