Srinagar, Nov 03: The usage of crude electric devices by unscrupulous people is causing huge loss of electricity which also leads to interruption in regular power supply, remarked Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, in a meeting here, on Friday.
He enjoined upon Deputy Commissioners to sensitise people about disadvantages of usage of crude electronic appliances.
