Power woes continue unabated in Kashmir: Tarigami

Expressing concern over the precarious power situation in Kashmir, CPI (M) leader MY Tarigami Sunday said the electricity woes continue unabated in the region while the electricity tariffs have been hiked arbitrarily by the government.

Tarigami said power cuts inevitably grow longer every winter since the power deficiency in J&K does not seem to improve. With the onset of winter, he said, the unscheduled and prolonged power cuts become an unwritten rule, not only in non-metered areas, but metered areas as well.

“No power schedule is being followed on ground and even metered areas are facing long and unscheduled power cuts much to the annoyance of the public,” Tarigami said.
