KPDCL faces criticism over erratic power supply in Rajbagh
Srinagar, Jan 3, KNT: Inhabitants of the uptown area of Rajbagh have complained of prolonged and frequent power outages, alleging gross mismanagement by the power supply authorities and calling the situation unprecedented for this time of the year.
Locals said that the electricity supply has remained erratic for the past several days, with frequent and unannounced power cuts severely affecting daily life. They expressed particular resentment over the fact that even metered areas, where consumers regularly pay their electricity bills, are facing extended outages without any explanation.
Locals told the news agency Kashmir News Trust that the power cuts have disrupted household routines, office work and essential services, especially during the ongoing winter season when electricity is crucial for heating and basic needs. Many locals described the situation as the worst they have witnessed in recent years.
They accused the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited of failing to ensure reliable supply despite repeated complaints. They said that calls to concerned offices often go unanswered and no clear information is provided regarding restoration of power.
Locals urged the authorities to take immediate notice of the issue and ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply to the area. [KNT]
