Ganderbal: Residents of Manigam, Wayel, Gutlibagh of Ganderbal District Tuesday blocked Sgr-Leh at Manigam byepass, against un-scheduled power cuts by Power Development department (PDD) in these areas.

“The power cuts have risen in number and its for only few hours that we are provided electricity during past one month,” protesters told INS.

Raising slogans against the PDD, residents alleged that they only see employees of the department when they have to deliver electricity bills.

“We are regular tax payers and even after paying our bills on time, why are we not provided electricty,” angry protesters said, refusing to let the traffic ply on the highway.

“They have assured us that they will raise the issue with the concerned officials and there problem will be redressed,” protesters quoting officials said.
