| Huge snarl on Kashmir highway as Pampore residents protest | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Nov 24: Amid shutdown, the residents of saffron town Pampore today protested against the Power Development Department for the erratic power supply in the area. They blocked the Srinagar-Jammu highway at three places for several hours that resulted in massive traffic jam.
Reports said that hundreds of people from Kadlabal, Drung, Frestbal and other areas of the town poured on the highway and held protest demonstrations against the power department.
The call for demonstration was given by Joint Coordination Committee Pampore.
Eyewitnesses said that the protesters blocked the highway for about five hours by erecting barricades and tents. They said that due to the blockade, the traffic came to halt and a heavy traffic jam was witnessed in the area for several hours.
The protesters alleged that PDD has been taking the consumers for a ride, with almost negligible power supplied to the area after floods. The protesters including women alleged that a number of transformers that were damaged due to floods have not been repaired yet. |
