Srinagar, Apr 23: Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCC&I) Saturday expressed its concern over the unscheduled power cuts, saying that the pesky power cuts are causing a lot of hardships to the people in this holy month of Ramzan.

The patients were struggling throughout who are on oxygen support at their homes, the statement said, adding that the Shab-e-Qadar is heading, KPDCL should ensure sufficient supply of electricity in Jammu & Kashmir.
