Unscheduled power cuts continue in Tral area even in Ramadan, allege locals
Pulwama: The residents of Tral area in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district are complaining of unscheduled power cuts especially dring Sehri and Iftaar timings.
Locals said that authorities had assured people of providing all facilities in the month of Ramadan but in Tral and adjoining areas they have been resorting to unscheduled power cuts.
‘The situation is creating problems for the residents,” they said.
“Unscheduled cuts during Ramadan have increased manifold and claims of authorities on ground are proving a hoax,” they added.
People alleged that power cuts have become more frequent during the Iftar and Sehri time.
“We do not get power supply during Iftar and Sehri time,” said Rameez, a local resident of Tral.
Basharat Ahmad, another resident of Tral said that PDD authorities have failed to mitigate the power crisis in Tral as power cuts were witnessed continuously during the holy month of Ramadan.
He said that people are facing hardships with each passing day, but no power schedule is being followed by the department.
The residents have sought immediate attention of higher ups into the matter and demanded an end to power cuts.
Locals said that if the department won’t resort to rescheduled power supply, they will be forced to come on the roads.
Meanwhile ADC Tral, S Raina when contacted assured that he will take up the issue with PDD officials and every possible step will be taken to ensure electricity as per schedule in the area.
