Srinagar, Apr 18: Authorities cut off the electricity to the public toilet at Nigeen Lake in an odd occurrence that has annoyed travellers and garnered ire from travel industry professionals.
The electricity connection to the sole public lavatory built by the tourism department for visitors was reportedly cut off a few days ago “without any rhyme or reason,” according to tourism vendors near Nigeen Lake.
According to Manzoor Ahmad, who runs a Shikhara near Ghat No. 2 of Nigeen Lake, “KPDCL officials cut the power connection of the public convenience after which a few of the tourists slipped and got injured which is a sad state of affairs and creates a bad image for the tourism sector.”
