| Don't test our patience further: Jammuites to Admin | | Power supplies amid Corona crisis worsening, outages stretch for days in winter capital | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Jan 29: The power supplies in Jammu region continue to remain erratic and outages are a new norm here. Though the common masses at large are made to suffer for their no-fault, the reasons for such anarchy too remain known to the government alone.
The power supplies on Friday and Saturday were hit badly in scores of areas of the Jammu region with people complaining that the electricity distribution in Jammu are worsening with each passing day. “The power supplies were snapped in the morning and it is 6 in the evening and we haven’t seen the electricity yet. We have patients at home and amid COVID’s 3rd wave, the government by snapping electricity every day is leaving people to die deliberately,” says a Trikuta Nagar resident.
On social media also, people from the main city of Jammu were ridiculing the government over such a non- judicious supply of power.
“There are patients in the home who require regular oxygen supplies. What will they do in such a scenario when electricity in its entirety is snapped for an entire day? Have you ever imagined their plight?
It is dreadful to even describe what these patients are going through. However, the government is ostracizing the approach, caring for none except its own farce branding,” says a disgruntled netizen. According to him, with the closure of annual Darbar move, the electricity in the Jammu region was left unattended and as if the common masses were cannon fodder, left trashes sadistically by those at the helm.
The government meanwhile on Friday had informed that the power supply to the Industrial area of SIDCO Bari Brahmna shall remain affected on January 30 from 10 am to 4 pm.
“Likewise, the power supply to Gandhi Nagar, Div Com Office, Auqaf Market, Green Belt, Apsra RoadRBI, Bahu Plaza, Vaishni Dham, Nanak Nagar, Gandhi Nagar Hospital, PHE Trikuta Nagar and its adjoining areas shall remain affected on January 29 from 10 am to 3 pm. Similarly, the power supply to Trikuta Nagar, Railway Complex, Nanak Nagar and adjoining areas shall remain affected on January 29 from 10 am to 3 pm.
Meanwhile, Superintending Engineer (Distribution) JPDCL, O&M Circle Kathua has informed that the power supply to PHE Samleh, Rakh, Karandi, Kalibari, Ram Nagar shall remain affected on January 29 from 10 am to 4 pm,” reads the January 28 official handout.
