JAMMU, July 19: BJP senior leader and former Vice Chairman, Balbir Ram Rattan has expressed deep concern over the increasing power cuts in Jammu. He stated that at a time when temperature and humidity are at their peak, regular and uninterrupted power supply has become a basic necessity for the people.
Balbir pointed out that despite assurances from the Electricity Department of 24-hour power supply in metered areas, there are frequent daily power cuts in the city and surrounding areas, causing significant difficulties for the general public, including students, traders, housewives, and senior citizens.
Balbir said that in many areas, electricity goes out multiple times a day, and in rural areas, it remains unavailable for hours. This not only causes inconvenience in households but also severely impacts business activities. Children’s online education, health-related needs of the elderly, and daily routines of life are being badly disrupted.
He urged the administration to prioritize power supply during these harsh Summer days and ensure a system that provides electricity without any interruptions.
Balbir also suggested that the Power Development Department should be held accountable for such cuts.
Balbir was discussing the problems being faced by people due to power cuts during the Summer season with a group of BJP senior activists.
