Talking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) he said that those using crude power equipment will not be spared and asked people to cooperate with the power utility for outages during technical issues or natural hazards.

He appealed to people to clear their pending dues and avail the PDD amnesty scheme.
“There are a number of government departments which include that of security who have a huge amount of pending dues, it won’t be like they will be let go rather they too have to pay the pending bills”, the ADC added.
