MURREE: Most areas of the tourist resort Murree plunged into darkness on the second consecutive day due to fault in a transformer on Friday.
Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) officials said that the transformer distributing power to most of the areas of Murree went out of order on Wednesday. The transformer couldn’t be changed or repaired due to which various important areas, including Kashmir Point, Jhika Gali, Lower Bazaar and surroundings, remained plunged in darkness for second consecutive day.
Residents of the power deprived areas, criticising the performance of local officials, have urged the higher authorities for taking notice and issuing directives to mend the situation.
