SRINAGAR, Dec 14: Concerned over the erratic power supply and scarcity of essential commodities in the Valley, CPI (M) State Secretary Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami today asked the Government to take immediate measures for improving the power scenario and ensuring availability of daily needs.
In a statement issued here today, Tarigami has said that the unscheduled power cuts have pushed people to wall. Tarigami said that in the freezing temperature the people have been deprived of ration, sugar, kerosene oil and LPG. He said the unscheduled power supply has added into their problems.
“Despite a huge hydroelectric potential, the State has been energy deficit for long and now when the cap on LPG cylinders has aggravated the situation, the authorities seem hardly bothered about the problems faced by the common people. The massive power breakdown following a heavy snowfall last winter still sends shivers down the spine and despite the assurances of the Government, concerns of long and recurrent power cuts this winter, loom large,” said Tarigami.
