Uri, Feb 22: The ongoing power crisis in Uri has worsened, leaving residents frustrated as erratic electricity supply continues to disrupt daily life. Unscheduled power cuts have become increasingly unpredictable, making it difficult for people to plan their routines.
Students preparing for exams are among the worst affected, struggling to study due to frequent outages. Small businesses are also facing significant losses, as sudden power cuts force them to halt operations without prior notice.
Local residents have expressed their anger over what they see as negligence by the Power Development Department (PDD). Many question whether the issue stems from mismanagement or deeper infrastructure failures. Complaints are mounting that outages occur at the most inconvenient times, affecting essential activities such as cooking, studying, and working.
With no signs of improvement, calls for urgent intervention are growing louder. Residents are demanding that authorities restore a stable power schedule and take immediate steps to prevent further disruptions. If the crisis persists, public frustration is expected to escalate, increasing pressure on the administration to find a long-term solution.
