JAMMU, Apr 27: Power Employees and Engineers under the banner of JKPEECC led by Jaipal Sharma, chairman JKPEECC and others today appealed to the Government to issue statement about the shortage of power from Northern Grid.
In a handout JKPEECC stated that since power shortage is being felt throughout the country due to which the rate per unit in the market is very high and the sufficient power is not available as per the demand due to which the unscheduled distress curtailments are being enforced.
“Under present circumstances all utilities across India are enforcing forced curtailments, and giving wide publicity to the curtailment schedules so that public is also made aware and prepared for the ongoing crisis,” it further said.
JKPEECC leaders said that due to lack of awareness and non-existent public relations of the management of the corporations, people in J&K are resorting to protest.
“It is therefore need of hour to issue public notice and use all forms of print and e-media to issue white paper on the availability and demand of the power,” they maintained.
