Keeping in view the sudden increase in load due to recent snowfall, the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) on Saturday announced a curtailment schedule for district Srinagar for both metered as well as non-metered areas effective from Sunday.
An official communique by the KPDCL, while notifying the curtailment schedule for the coming winter season, asked consumers to use electricity judiciously especially during peak hours to avoid overloading of the system and to minimize the curtailment.

Consumers asked to clear pending bills or face disconnection
Burdened by increasing liabilities on the account of various factors including meager revenue from the public, the Jammu and Kashmir Power Distribution Department has already asked the consumers across the district to make timely payments of their monthly electric bills.
The consumers were appealed to clear their outstanding or arrear amount, if any, at the earliest to avoid disconnection of power supply. This came as the officials of the department conducted an extensive drive in different parts to check power pilferage.
