JAMMU, July 3: Senior Congress leaders including PCC vice president and former minister Raman Bhalla, chief spokesperson Ravinder Sharma, former Minister Shabir Ahmed Khan and former MLA Kalakote Ashok Sharma have taken strong exception to the delay in the commissioning of grid station at Siot, as a result people of entire belt of Sunderbani, Nowshera and Kalakote area are badly suffering in this scorching heat due to very low voltage adversely affecting the entire water supply system.
The senior leaders have said that they repeatedly brought it to the notice of power authorities but the delay has occurred due to callous attitude of the authorities.

The Congress has served ultimatum to the Govt to commission the station immediately and also take other necessary steps to improve the worst power situation in Sunderbani-Nowshera, Kalakote areas immediately otherwise joint struggle shall be launched.
