Firdous Qadri
Srinagar, Dec 26 (GNS): Residents of Tangpora staged a protest demonstration against Power Development Department (PDD) for unilateral hike in electricity tariff.
The locals took to roads and staged protest. Holding electricity bills in their hands, the locals chanted slogans against the PDD. They alleged that the Department even failed to provide electricity even as per the schedule.
“In times of coronavirus when most people are finding it hard to make ends meet, the PDD has unilaterally increased power tariff to add to the sufferings of people,” they said, adding, “How can we pay such inflated electricity bills?”
“The department has miserably failed to provide uninterrupted supply to Tangpora area,” they said.
“How can PDD increase tariff without consulting consumers? First they should provide electricity as per scheduled,” they added.
