NC women’s wing takes admin head on over power, water crisis | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Apr 28: National Conference women's wing today said the power crisis in Jammu & Kashmir is deepening with each passing day, saying people are seeing no relief from unscheduled outages. This was said by the party's women's wing functionaries in a protest against the worst ever and pervasive power crisis in Kashmir. Led by the party's women's wing President Shameema Firdous, the protesting women raised placards demanding relief from the unscheduled power cuts and unsteady water supply. They also resorted to high pitch sloganeering against the administration for its failure to tide over power and water crisis. “Our people are hankering for power, particularly at Iftar and Sehri hours. People don’t remember having seen such power shortages in their lifetimes, especially in summers. Normal life has been crippled and ongoing Ramzan fervor has been dampened due to the worsening crisis. The power shortage has also impacted patient care of mostly home-bound patients who survive on oxygen concentrators. Government is in a world of its own, detached from the predicaments of our people,” the women protesters said. |
