Post-Election Power Woes: Load Shedding Plagues Kashmir Amid Political Transition
Power Struggles: Post-Election Load Shedding Leaves Kashmir Residents in the Dark By: Javid Amin Since the day the election results were declared, the electric supply in Kashmir has been playing a frustrating game of hide and seek, with heavy load shedding disrupting daily life. The recent elections brought a wave of hope and anticipation for positive change, but the reality of frequent power outages has cast a shadow over the optimism. Residents have been grappling with the erratic power supply, which has affected households, businesses, and essential services. “It’s been a nightmare,” says Aisha, a local shop owner. “We were hoping for a better future after the elections, but instead, we’re dealing with constant power cuts.” The region has a long history of power supply issues, often exacerbated by political transitions.
