RAJOURI, Jan 10: Despite tall claims of the senior officers in the Administration and Power Development Department (PDD), the electricity in many parts of the district has been snapped.
The people today held strong protest at Darhali Atti in Rajouri against the PDD authorities for power failure in the area for the last 3-4 days. The protesters blocked the Rajouri- Thanna Mandi, Darhal road for more than an hour alleging the department has failed to provide electricity to their area.
“Despite several representations to SE, PDD these officers didn’t bother to mitigate our problems. The protest was to awake them from the deep slumber,” one of the protestors said.
Meanwhile, SHO Rajouri Farid Choudhary reached the spot to pacify people. Later, after assurance by DC Rajouri, Vikas Kundal the protesters suspended the dharna.
