Early Times Report

Srinagar, Apr 26: With no end to power “crisis” in Jammu and Kashmir, in the latest, a video of Kashmiri women pelting stones on the colony transformer has gone viral on the social media.
In the video, the scores of women are seen pelting stones at the transfer feeding their village in Kashmir. The protesting women said that their area had been receiving no power supplies for the last several days and that it was better for the officials to take away the locality transformer. It was second such major protest demonstration by women in Kashmir against the erratic power supply.
Only last week, the women of Maisuma locality had staged a roadside dharna in the heart of Srinagar against the erratic power supply.
The protesting women while ridiculing at the PDD has said: “Bijli Ko Pesh Karo(Bring electricity before us).”
While the top officials of the Power Development Department are silent over the issue, the public annoyance against the PDD has been on rise.
Some officials of the PDD admitted that it was for the “first time” that the department was facing so much “public fury and abuses on the social media in particular.”
“We are paying the price of the incompetence of our bosses. Otherwise why is a PDD engineer to blamed for the fault of the administration in general which is not bothered to seek adequate electricity from the Northern Gird. This had never happened in the past,” said a group of PDD engineers on the condition of anonymity.
The engineers blamed their bosses for the mess. “They(babus) are trying to give a rosy picture of the worsening situation on the ground. Had these officials been competent they would simply demand more electricity for JK but they are unable to do the same to hide their misadventures,” the officials added.
The government has been asking people to use power even judiciously to overcome “shortage of power.”
