He said that government has been claiming that they have been repairing the transformers in 24 to 48 hours but that isn’t the case here.
Aamir Ahmad, another local said that despite paying bills on time authorities have failed in repairing the transformer in their area.
He said that the monthly tariff has been increased to Rs 1800 per month in the last one year but the PDD has failed in upgrading the infrastructure.

They said that they have been raising this issue before the concerned higher officials who assure that the transformer will be reinstalled soon but no such promise is being fulfilled.
The locals have now sought the attention of MLA Pulwama Waheed Ur Rehman Para and Deputy Commissioner Pulwama Dr Basharat Qayoom in this regard.
