Samba, Sept 5: The Jammu-Pathankot National Highway was today blocked as power shortage sparked protest in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Hundereds of locals this morning assembled in Samba town and blocked the highway, thus disrupting the normal traffic.
The protestors were shouting slogans against the government and the district administration against unscheduled power cuts and long hours curtailment in scorching heat and humid conditions.
Protesting villagers alleged that some of the localities are being supplied power from Kathua district but due to overloading, there is no continuous electricity supply in the area.
