JAMMU, Aug 8: The Suriya Vihar and Laxmi Nagar Muthi have plunged into darkness after the local transformer developed a snag yesterday.
The residents of the two colonies in an appeal to the PDD authorities have demanded immediate installation of new transformer so that the power supply is restored to the area.
They warned that in case the department filed to install the transformer by tomorrow the people will be left with no alternative but to come to streets. Meanwhile, BJP leaders Omi Khajuria, Suraj Parkash Padha and Mukesh Sharma have urged the PDD authorities to take immediate steps in installing the transformer in the area failing which the people will resort to road blockade tomorrow.
They said that it is difficult to pass even an hour without the electricity in this hot and humid Summer and any delay in installation of transformer will invite public wrath.
