Mendhar, Surankote residents protest frequent power cuts | | | Early Times Report Mendhar, Dec 21: A large number of residents of Mendhar and Surankote areas of Poonch district lodged a protest against Power Development Depart-ment (PDD) for frequent power cuts in their areas. Local residents of Mendhar Er M R Kazafi said that the PDD doesn't adhere to the schedule due to which the students preparing for examination are facing hardships. "When PDD installed meters in our area we were told that we would get power supply round the clock, but their promises turned out to be a hoax," residents said. The situation in un-metered and remote villages of Harni , Gultha , Gursai Mohra Kallar and Sangoite is no different and people are facing acute power shortage. In Harni and Gursai power supplied from pharmanar grid station is disrupted after every half an hour. "PDD resorts to continuous power cuts," said a local resident of Harni "Unscheduled power cuts have become order of the day and students are the worst sufferers," said a resident, Akash Malik. |
