Bushra Habib, from Beerwah, said that the power development department has increased the fee of the consumers from Rs 700 to 1400, but the department is still not providing electricity supplies to the different villages of the Beerwah tehsil.
“There are a lot of students who are going to prepare for the board examinations. These students are not able to prepare because of unscheduled electricity supply in the villages, “She said.

When contacted the Assistant Executive Engineer of PDD Sub-Division Beerwah said that people must use electricity in their homes as per the given load schedule so that they can receive proper electricity.
“The feeders could not bear the heavy load. If the load is decreased , people can receive proper electricity in their villages,” he said.
