The residents of Deegam village in south Kashmir’s Shopian district Friday accused the Power Development Department (PDD) of resorting to unscheduled power cuts, causing immense hardships to them.
According to the residents, the village located across the Rambi Aara stream has been witnessing frequent power outages since winters.
They said the power schedule of winters is still in place in the village.
“The schedule has been reviewed in other parts of the district but here we receive electricity as per the old winter schedule,” said a local Mushtaq Ahmad.
Ahmad said that the power scenario got worse with the onset of the holy month of Ramadhan.
