Kulgam: Three villages in south Kashmir have seen no electricity since a month now and official assurance of having ‘respite soon’ has brought no sigh of relief.
The villages include Danjanbal Chinigam Frisal, Syed Pora Panzath and Pati Akhran village in south Kashmir’s Kulgam.
Locals of these villages allege that authorities many a times told them that there will be speedy work however all there assurance were proven hoax.
Residents of Danjanbal Chinigam Frisal told INS that since 4 months the area is suffering badly due to erratic power supply and at times supply was stopped for weeks.
“Now its almost a month that the area has not received electricity despite repeated appeals to higher authorities,” they said.
Locals at Syed Pora Panzath and Pati Akhran village have same woes to narrate.
“Transformers of these area developed technical glitches some twenty days back and were taken by PDD to repair. But since then there are only assurances but no work,” they said.
“All the damaged transformers have been shifted to the work shop in Kulgam. It will take 4 or 5 days,” Executive Officer PDD Nisar Ahmad told INS.
