Expressing serious concern over the precarious power situation in Kashmir, CPI (M) leader and former MLA Kulgam M Y Tarigami Monday said governments come and go, but the electricity woes continue unabated.
“We have enough water resources and despite tall claims by the politicians and the rulers of the time about solving issues, they have not been able to settle this small issue for decades. During summers, due to power woes people in Jammu suffer and in winters people in Kashmir have to bear the brunt of power crisis,” Tarigami said in a statement.
“Though the Governor administration claims there is improvement in governance, reality is that the power situation is same as it was during the previous years. There is no improvement as power supply in Kashmir has become like a miscal. Isn’t it any priority for the government to provide uninterrupted power supply to people in this harsh winter?” he added.
