MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): Loadshedding in Muzaffarabad that began overnight has left several suburban areas of the city without electricity, causing significant difficulties for residents across all walks of life.
The electricity supply was suspended late last night and has not yet been restored, leaving entire neighbourhoods in darkness.
Exam preparation becomes challenging for students who try to study without electricity amid the Loadshedding in Muzaffarabad. The lack of electricity prevents students from both studying effectively and using online educational resources and attending virtual classes. People whose children study at school have raised worries that the interruption may have negative effects on their academic results.
Small retailers alongside commercial enterprises face severe harm because of the power failure. The operation of their businesses depends on power for tools along with lights and refrigeration systems. Due to the Loadshedding in Muzaffarabad, perishable goods are at risk of spoiling, and daily income has taken a hit.
Households are facing a wide range of problems. Without power, water supply systems that rely on electric pumps have stopped working, leaving families without access to clean water. In the warm weather, fans and coolers are also not functioning, making it difficult for people, especially the elderly and children, to rest or sleep.
Electricity functions as more than a comfort since it has transformed into an essential requirement for modern living. All residential, academic, medical facilities as well as commercial operations and communications infrastructure operate through electricity. Prolonged blackouts beyond these boundaries impact lives at home and create health dangers for the public while hurting income streams for local communities.
Multiple citizen complaints have failed so far to motivate the Department of Electricity to provide power restoration or effective communication to the general public. The population of Muzaffarabad shows a deepening frustration as the citizens feel abandoned by the lack of power supply in an extended Loadshedding in Muzaffarabad.
The general public seeks prompt resolution and a precise explanation to their matters. The lack of power supply along Muzaffarabad’s borders will persist until the Azad Jammu and Kashmirs (AJK) Department of Electricity delivers a resolution.
