SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir National Conference on Friday said the erratic power supply is tormenting the people of Kashmir, saying the promise of ruling BJP that electricity supply for winters would be “far better than the previous year’s” has fallen flat.
On the contrary, the demand for electricity supply in the valley continues to outstrip its supply and people are not just without heat in the ongoing harsh winters, but losing business, study time and health, said Party’s Additional Spokesperson Sarah Hayat Shah while expressing concern over the erratic power supply in Srinagar. “Making electricity available to each household in Jammu and Kashmir was used as a prelude to the nullification of state’s status. It was also promised to the people that the scenario of power would be far better than the previous years. The reality is before us. It goes without saying that the state of affairs of power this year has been mostly terrible, revealing the failure of ruling BJPs failed Vikas Model if there was any at the first place,” she said.
