Residents of this town in north Kashmir are up in arms against Power Development Department (PDD) over long and unscheduled power cuts for the past more than 20 days.
A group of residents of Ziangeer area said they were facing unscheduled power cuts during peak hours in the evening, resulting in inconveniences.
A local said Zaingeer belt comprises of around 30 villages, but the whole area has been neglected by the PDD. We hardly receive power supply for few hours during a day,” he said.
The residents said the PDD was not following the curtailment schedule announced by it earlier. “The students are preparing for different exams, but the pesky power cuts, particularly during evening and night hours disturb their preparation schedule,” said Muzaffar Ahmad, a resident of Batpora.
