Power Development Department (PDD) has launched a major crackdown against the misuse of electricity in Ganderbal to ensure uninterrupted power supply in the winters.
The decision to crack a whip against power theft comes at a time when the demand for electricity has increased with the onset of winters.
Official sources told Greater Kashmir that in a bid to stop overload of power feeders and bring down power curtailment to some extent, PDD has started a drive against the misuse of power throughout the Valley.
An official told Greater Kashmir that the teams conducted a series of raids in various localities and seized electric heaters and boilers which were putting extra load on power supply in the area, resulting in unscheduled power cuts.
