Srinagar, Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), the Apex trade body of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, has expressed concern over the erratic power supply in the territory.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the KCCI in a press release issued today said they have been closely observing the ongoing erratic power supply in the Kashmir Valley. This has been gravely affecting the industry, trade/business, and households in general, it said.

“The Chamber expresses its concern and disappointment with the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) and its unreliable and contradictory policies for maintaining regular power supply. The department promised uninterrupted electric supply with the installation of smart meters, but this hasn’t been the case. Power supply remains severely erratic for most of the year,” the KCCI said.

The trade body urged the authorities to ensure consistent power supply during the harsh winter months.

It is to be mentioned here that while India the electricity produced from the waters of occupied Kashmir lights different Indian states most of the areas of the occupied territory remain plunged in darkness.
