Trader’s federation Pulwama protests unscheduled power cuts
Pulwama: Members of the Traders Federation Pulwama on Wednesday staged a silent protest against unscheduled power cuts in the town.
The Federation members expressed strong resentment against PDD for failing to provide scheduled power supply to their localities during the month of Ramadan.
The Federation members said that they are reeling under hours of power cuts daily and despite repeated requests to the PDD department no attention was provided towards their plight.
“We are facing hardships due to the pesky power cuts especially during night hours. If PDD is unable to provide uninterrupted scheduled power supply then they don’t have the right to charge us for electricity,” said Mohammad Altaf a senior member of the federation.
“The frequent power cuts have also badly affected the students adversely as their board exams are going on,” he said.
He said that frequent power cuts make life difficult during Ramadan and is affecting business of hundreds of tradesmen in the town.
The members said that this issue has been brought to the notice of concerned authority’s number of times but situation hasn’t changed on ground.
They appealed LG and district administration to look into the matter so that they won’t suffer anymore.
