Srinagar, Apr 15 (KNS): The residents of several villages of Mawer in Kupwara district on Tuesday complained about interrupted power supply in the area despite paying regular electricity bills.

Bashir Ahmad, a local resident from Qalamabad told KNS that they are paying electricity bills regularly but not getting the power supply as per schedule.
