Srinagar: With the officials at Power Development Department (PDD) accusing people of ruthlessly wasting the electricity in valley, reports pouring in KNS office reveal that the officials of PDD allows consumers in Srinagar to hook against the monthly payment of Rs 100.
The reports informed that the wooden polls are also being issued and erected in the lawns of the people falling in areas that are metered. The reports added that the complete arrangement for hooking is being done by the PDD officials against the monthly payment of some hundred bucks.
Various delegations visiting KNS office stated that the PDD linemen and other officials allow residents of the metered areas in Srinagar to hook and that against the same the lineman collects Rs 100 to 150 every month.
“We want to ask the PDD authorities why the polls are being issued to various people in their personal lawns when we have the concrete polls on the roadside. It is some people in PDD itself that allow people to go for power theft.”
