Harsh appeals to join Dharna outside Divisional office of PDD on Aug 8 Power crisis makes life a living hell for Jammuites 8/7/2016 10:15:41 AM Early Times Report Jammu Aug 6 : Ridiculing the haughty and supercilious claims made by the State and Central Govt. on good governance and ‘Achhe Din’, Harsh Dev Singh Chairman JKNPP and Former Minister has lambasted the BJP Leadership for subjecting the people to inexpressible miseries and tribulations in the wake of unprecedented power cuts in the region. Addressing media persons, he said that the massive scheduled and unscheduled power cuts had literally made life hell for the people with no takers for their woes and sufferings despite repeated protests, appeals and representations. He said that while the mandated leaders of Jammu had given up their moral and political obligations, the people of Jammu especially the aged, ailing and the children were having the nightmarish experiences of the much proclaimed ‘Achhe Din’ of the BJP partnered Govt. He also said that the unprecedented power crisis during scorching summer had thrown life out of gear in both urban and rural areas with loudest shrills of people going un-heard and unresponded. He regretted that despite the pathetic plight of the people, the elected representatives had failed to effectively project their concerns. He deplored that rather than assuring a fail deal to the Jammu people, the BJP MLAs shamelessly agitated in the Assembly for enhancement of their salaries, perks and CDF etc. Lambasting the govt. for its highly parochial and biased approach, he pointed towards the most obnoxious aspects of power distribution within the state. Citing figures, he said that the power consumption between Jammu and Kashmir regions is in the ratio of 40:60 respectively but when it comes to revenue realization Jammu contributes more than 66% of power tariff with barely 34% coming from Kashmir province. He said that the power supply to Jammu region had been further curtailed during 2015-16 and thereafter due to highly prejudicial and callous approach of helmsmen. He appealed to the people to join his peaceful Dharna outside the office of Chief Engineer M&RE (Power Deptt.) Bhagwati Nagar Jammu on Monday, August 8th so as to aware the govt. regarding the unprecedented crisis in the region and untold miseries faced by the people.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
