Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 27: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee today came down heavily on the administration for the worst power crisis and asked the government to take immediate steps to improve the situation before it further worsens. Addressing a joint press conference, PCC Working President Raman Bhalla, Chief Spokesperson Ravinder Sharma, Treasurer Rajnish Sharma, General Secretary Manmohan Singh, Spokesperson Sahil Sharma, the JKPCC leaders came down heavily on the government for its failure to cope up with the situation of power crisis for the past several days in entire Jammu and Kashmir, while situation is worst in the hot Jammu region.
Sharma said that this kind of situation is unprecedented and never witnessed in the past, as the government is able to make available of around 50 percent of the requirement of power as against requirement of 1300 MW only 600 to 700 MW is being available to Jammu region while 1000 to 900 MW against 1700 MW, requirement of power in Kashmir region.
He said the government has totally failed to improve the situation since it is just beginning of the hot summer in Jammu and power crisis has been the worst and this has badly affected the water supply system especially in rural belt of Jammu region, due prolonged 12 to 14 hours power cuts while in rural areas it is more worst.
The Congress leaders also lashed out at the imposition of water tax in rural areas where there is no regular and proper supply of water during normal times also. They said that the government is fleecing the people in the name of unreasonable taxes of all sorts. The common power consumers are being served huge inflated bills while the big sharks are not being checked. The people don’t get regular power but are getting regular inflated bills, which is most unfortunate.
The Congress leaders also questioned the reports of finalization of delimitation report, without proper deliberations with the stake-holders especially political parties over the highly defective and faulty daft report. The Congress has remained one of the largest political party in Jammu and Kashmir so far but was not consulted and also other regional opposition parties who had been part of legislature in the past, were never taken on board while an eye wash of public hearing was conducted by the DC. |
