He said that the electricity tariff has been hiked from few hundreds to Rs 1300 but still the people are faced with unscheduled power supply.
Zameer Ahmad, another local resident said that their tariff has been hiked to Rs 1300 per month but the power scenario has worsened since then.
“If authorities have been hiking fee frequently, they must at least upgrade the power infrastructure so that people may receive scheduled power supply,” he said.

They requested higher ups to look into the matter at an earliest so that they won’t suffer anymore.
