Rising Electricity Demand Raises Concerns Ahead of the Cold Season
Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir: Power cuts and frequent disruptions have started troubling residents in several parts of Kashmir even before the onset of the harsh winter season. Intermittent electricity supply has affected daily life, with residents expressing concern over the possibility of longer outages as temperatures fall further.
Electricity Demand Expected to Rise
Electricity consumption generally increases across Kashmir during winter as households rely more on heaters and other electrical appliances. Residents fear that the existing disruptions could become more frequent once the demand for power rises.
Residents Seek Reliable Supply
Local residents have urged the authorities to improve the power supply system and ensure regular electricity availability. They have also sought clear information about scheduled power cuts so that households can plan accordingly.
Winter Weather Could Add to Challenges
The winter months in Kashmir often bring snowfall, freezing temperatures and difficult weather conditions, which can affect power infrastructure and supply. Maintaining uninterrupted electricity during such conditions remains an important challenge for the authorities.
Residents are hoping that the power distribution network will be strengthened before the peak winter period begins, ensuring reliable electricity supply and reducing the inconvenience caused by prolonged outages.
