Frequent power cuts trigger protest in Sopore locality
Sopore: Residents of Sopore town Wednesday held a protest against the Power Development Department (PDD) for failing to provide electricity on a regular basis in the ongoing holy month of Ramadan.
Reports said that inhabitants of Kralteng locality of Sopore blocked the road near police station Sopore against PDD alleging that the department has failed to provide uninterrupted power supply to the area.
“There has hardly been a day when we have had electricity at the time of Sehri or Iftar. During the day, the situation gets worse. We have never faced such a situation before,” said one of the protestors.
The protesters urged the administration and PDD to ensure uninterrupted power supply especially during Sehri and Iftar hours.
Meanwhile, officials from civil and police departments reached to the spot and assured the protesters that their demand will be taken to higher authorities for redressal.
