JAMMU, Apr 25: Flaying the J&K administration for long and unannounced power cuts during the ongoing heat wave, Shiv Sena (UBT) on Saturday termed the situation as complete administrative failure and warned street agitation if immediate steps are not taken to correct the system.
Addressing a press conference here today, J&K Shiv Sena president, Manish Sahni said that people of Jammu city and adjoining areas are suffering due to long power cuts amid soaring temperature with senior citizens, women, children, patients, students and traders facing severe hardship due to power outages.
