They accused the authorities of acting as mute spectators. “We many times approached the district administration and concerned PDD authorities for restoration of power but they miserably failed,” they said.
“The unscheduled power cuts have made our lives miserable. If PDD does not restore round the clock power we will be forced to launch an agitation against the department,” they said.
