"There is need for the state-government to tackle the rising power failures in Jammu immediately," senior Congress leader Mula Ram told at a public meeting of party workers here in Raipur Domana belt.
Ram, a former minister, said the state government should ensure regular supply of power by installing more transformers.
"There should be regular and uninterrupted supply of power to all water supply sources located in the area so that there is no shortage of drinking water," he said.
Meanwhile, activists of J&K's Socialist Democratic Party (SDP) today held protests in the city against growing power cuts and demanded smooth and uninterrupted electricity supply.
"The unchecked electricity shutdown and water scarcity has put the common man to innumerable trouble in Jammu this summer," SDP Provincial President Sham Bhagat said.
