The locals from the Downtown area of Srinagar said that they have been equally suffering due to unscheduled power cuts for the past several weeks.
“There is no power at all. Now we have become used to it. We know, our pleas won’t yield any positive result but still, we want to let the authorities know how people have been suffering due to their negligence,” he said.
