POONCH, Jan 10: With the damage caused to a PDD transformer, several areas of Mandi town are without electricity supply for the last several days.
Local residents said that PDD staff have not given attention to their problem and they are left with no option other than to agitate and hit the roads and streets.
The electric transformer went out of order and was removed from there but no other transformer has been restored to the tehsil headquarter. There is strong resentment among the tehsil residents against PDD, they added.
They further alleged that power remains suspended for weeks together but PDD is charging flat rates from them every month which is great injustice with the public. The Government is charging for the service which it is not providing to the public, they added.
