Rafiabad Deecmber 11 (KNS): J&K People's Conference senior vice president and former minister Abdul Gani Vakil expressed concern over power crisis in the Valley and said that the unscheduled power cuts have aggravated woes of people in valley especially in Rafiabad and Sopore areas. Abdul Gani Vakil while touring different villages of Rafiabad and Sopore which included Zaloora, Harduchanam,, Behrampora, Hathlangoo, and Amargarh and interacted with the locals of the area who have been facing acute hardships due to power crisis.
Vakil further maintained that the present power crisis has exposed the tall claims of UT administration of enhancing energy supply. "Power cuts are randomised in Rafiabad and Sopore and the Power department has “totally failed” to implement its own given schedule. "It is preposterous that people have been forced to go without electricity for days together even in the metered areas.
The power crises is worse in non-metered areas where people are rendered helpless in the absence of electricity," Vakil said.
Vakil exhorted the UT government to implement its own schedule in letter and spirits so that people general & students in particular will not suffer more.(KNS)
