He said that carelessness is the only cause which creates such a precarious situation and therefore every effort should be made to ensure that power transformers should run considerably for longer durations without any hiccups.
Bharat Bhushan warned the JKPDCL officials of not giving a step motherly treatment to the people of rural belts as they are not less than urban population in any parameter of citizenship rights.
