“Students preparing for various examinations are worst hit as they are unable to prepare due to these frequent power cuts,” he said.
Another resident Mohd Shafi said they are facing several problems. “Recently the government announced that there would be better power supply during the winters but all claims remained restricted to papers only,” he said.
Lateef appealed to higher authorities to look into this issue, so that it can be resolved within time.
