Srinagar, Nov 11 (KNS): Peoples Democratic Party state youth sectarary, Arif Laigroo has expressed deep concern over power shortage in the entire Kashmir especially in Srinagar and has demanded immediate remedy to crisis.

In a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), he said that the electricity supply schedule was not being properly followed and urged the administration to deal with the electricity “crisis” on a priority basis.

“There are complaints from the city as well from rural areas about acute power shortage. The people, especially students, are appalled at the state of electricity supply. No power schedule is being followed by the power development department here," he said.

Laigaroo said that if the state of affairs is so awful in Srinagar city than what would be the situation in small towns, hamlets and higher reaches of the Kashmir Valley.
