Backing opposition’s protests,ruling NC ally Congress today asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to immediately tackle the growing power crisis in the state.

“There is need for the state-government to tackle the

rising power failures in Jammu immediately,” senior Congress

leader Mula Ram told at a public meeting of party workers.

Ram,a former minister,said the state government should

ensure regular supply of power by installing more transformers.

“There should be regular and uninterrupted supply of power

to all water supply sources located in the area so that there

is no shortage of drinking water,” he said.

Meanwhile,activists of J&K’s Socialist Democratic Party

(SDP) today held protests in the city against growing power

cuts and demanded smooth and uninterrupted electricity supply.

“The unchecked electricity shutdown and water scarcity has

put the common man to innumerable trouble in Jammu this

summer,” SDP Provincial President Sham Bhagat said.
