The locals from Srinagar outskirts said that due to the unscheduled power cuts, they are unable to carry out their tasks as the electricity is snapped without any schedule.

“In today’s era, there should be an uninterrupted power supply given the cold weather conditions. Now if the Power Development Department wants to curtail, there should be a proper schedule and it should be minimum so that people won’t suffer. It gets dark early in winter and amid the growing canine population in Srinagar, we fear to venture outside in dark. We hope that authorities will look into it,” said Adil Ahmed, a local from Hazratbal.

 Chief Engineer KPDCL, Javaid Yousuf Dar said that they are keeping the curtailments very low in Srinagar. He said that due to increasing power demand some areas face curtailment.

 “We will issue the curtailment schedule by the 15th of this month so that people won’t suffer. We have also made various progress in power supply across Kashmir and in Srinagar. We hope that people will enjoy a better power supply this winter. We are also finishing various augmentation and other projects in Hazratbal outskirts and Harwan which will improve the power supply in these areas,” Dar said.
