Terming the supply of power deteriorating, opposition PDP has said that power development department was unable even to charge uniform tariff from the consumers of same category.
“ During her day long tour of Islamabad constituency the party president Mahbooba Mufti was informed that electricity fee was charged at different rates from the consumers and when she contacted top electric department officials they could provide no explanation for this,” said a party statement.
”The government is blind to the problems faced by the people and it is taking a more cruel turn every day for everybody,” Mahbooba said.
“On one hand the government has been unable to fix the gas crisis and on the other it has been depriving people of power supply which has now become worst ever since 2003,”she said adding that given the climatic conditions of Kashmir and ensuing winter people could face real threat to their lives in absence of any fuel options.
“It is amazing that various departments under one administration had apparently not even a working contact as is evident from the theatre of absurd being enacted in the name of streamlining the gas supply,” Mahbooba said.
The police, she said had rightly refused to handle the sale of this essential commodity but the government, it seems has developed a habit of handing over all its problems to men in uniform.
“It seems the government which was paralyzed for three years is now in complete coma”, she said.
Visiting various localities of Islamabad Mahbooba urged the administration to immediately start work on some important road links including. She also urged to provide adequate water supply to people.
