Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Aug 23:  A team of representatives of Consumers Welfare Association (CWA) met Chief Engineer Planning PDD  Somraj Sharma and Consultants for works under RAPDRP G J Maniar and H L Gupta  regarding execution of RAPDRP works  taken up presently  in Jammu Province.
The CWA members expressed their concern over carrying out the works of improvement of entire distribution system causing disruption of power supply for long hours in this summer season. This is being done without discussing/informing the public about work schedule through media or their own staff.
Long hours power cut in this sweltering hot summer is causing great discomfort to public and loss of working hours to both Industrial and commercial consumers, CWA members added.
This project is 90 % funded by Central Government and 10% by State and approved by IPDS (Indian Power Development System) and covers more than 10,000 localities.
The CWA team among others was represented by Er B M Kohli, vice president and Chander Parkash, secretary.
