JAMMU, Oct 17: Apni Party Jammu provincial secretary and incharge membership drive, Dr Rohit Gupta has criticized Jammu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (JPDCL) for its failure to supply 24×7 electricity to the power consumers in Jammu even during Navratri Festival.
In a statement issued today, Dr Rohit Gupta said that the JPDCL has not been able to supply electricity even after installing smart meters across Jammu. “Navratri Festival is being celebrated in Jammu and the cold weather conditions have gradually started in Jammu with a spell of rainfall in last two days. However, the unscheduled curtailment power curtailment in city and its peripheral areas have escalated the problems of people, “he said.
He said that the JPDCL had assured the people of Jammu that they would ensure round the clock power supply in metered areas. However, the situation is quite opposite and the power consumers are facing three to four hours of long frequent power cuts on daily basis. The people hardly get electricity for 8 hours in 24 hours and this situation has also affected the drinking water supply.
