BuzzBytes Srinagar, December 15:
Ali Muhammad Sagar, the General Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, expressed deep concern over the persistent power crisis in Kashmir, criticizing the administration’s failure to address the escalating issue. In a press statement from the party headquarters Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar, Sagar highlighted the alarming level of unscheduled power cuts, leading to substantial losses in various sectors such as businesses, education, healthcare, and overall quality of life.
Sagar emphasized, “The long duration outages and unscheduled power cuts are causing immense frustration among citizens who have borne significant financial burden in terms of increased tariff without reaping the intended advantages.” He pointed out that the lack of consistent electricity supply has resulted in considerable losses, impacting the daily lives of the people.
The General Secretary held the government accountable, stating, “Responsibility needs to be fixed. Why did the government let the alarm about a dip in water discharge in dams go unheard and didn’t prepare a proposal to purchase from the Northern Grid? The government is fully responsible for the genesis of the crisis; it didn’t happen overnight.”
