JAMMU, June 11: Mission Statehood Jammu Kashmir (MSJK) workers here today staged a protest demonstration against PDD Department for unscheduled power cuts.
The protest was led by Sunil Dimple, MSJK president, who said that the defunct power supply infrastructure, low capacity transformers and acute scarcity of drinking water in Jammu has made the life miserable.
“People are facing long durations unscheduled and scheduled power curtailments in this scorching heat and children, patients, old age people are unable to sleep at night,” he maintained adding that there is no accountability in PDD which delivers hefty-faulty bills.
