Srinagar, Apr 30 : Yasir Mandoo, Youth Congress President Srinagar, condemns the government’s prioritization of cosmetic projects over addressing pressing issues like the persistent power shortage in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement to news agency, despite repeated assurances, the government has yet to implement effective measures to alleviate the suffering of the residents in the region. “This ongoing power shortage severely impacts daily lives, hindering economic activities, disrupting education, and causing immense inconvenience to the people of J&K, ” he said.
Yasir Mandoo criticizes government spending on projects like smart city instead of fulfilling basic needs. He also condemns charging hefty fees for smart meters without providing adequate electricity in return.
Mandoo urges the government to take immediate steps to address the power shortage crisis and fulfill its responsibility towards the citizens of the region.
“Despite assurances from the government, the situation remains dire, with residents enduring prolonged power outages and facing undue hardships,” he said.
