UDA hits out at PDD for unscheduled power cuts during Janmashtami

Jammu | 12-Aug-2020

Despite Janmashtami Festival, Power Development Department (PDD) failed to ensure uninterrupted power supply to Jammu city. This was stated by Chief Spokesperson, United Democratic Alliance, Rajiv Mahajan in a statement issued here on Wednesday.
Irked by the unscheduled power cuts, he questioned the promises made by the then PDP-BJP government to provide interrupted 24x7 power supply in the 100 percent metered areas. �People are facing problems because of power cuts during festivals. It is strange that the PDD has failed to ensure proper electricity supply,� he said. Frequent and extended unscheduled power cuts during the summer have become a routine in the Jammu city as the government has failed to take drastic steps to stop power pilferage and act against the power thieves, he said.
