UDHAMPUR, May 17: Up in arms against no electricity in the area for the last four days, villagers of Rassain, Lower Katwalt, Majua and adjoining areas in Ramnagar tehsil protested against Power Development Department (PDD), here today at Rassain.
The protesting villagers said that the entire area was in dark for the last four days because of damage to eight electric poles near Jandrore village, resulting into no electric supply to 33 transformers.
Demanding immediate repair of the electric poles and restoration of the power supply, the protesting villagers raised slogans against PDD.
They alleged that the Power Development Department has failed to repair the damaged electric poles in the last four days for the reasons best known to them. Due to no power supply, people of the area are suffering a lot, they said.
