Among the worst affected villages are Sallar, Kullar, Lever, Wullarhama, Kathsoo, and Budroo, where residents said the ongoing electricity crisis has badly affected household activities, businesses, and students’ studies.

Local residents expressed frustration, saying that even after repeatedly informing the concerned authorities, no effective steps have been taken to restore the regular electricity supply.
