Residents of Tajhat area in the outskirts of the town yesterday blocked the main road of the town demanding uninterrupted power supply. Over a thousand people agitated and put up the barricade from 9am to 10am by setting fire on the road. Scores of buses and trucks got stranded on the road, causing much sufferings to the people. "We are not getting electricity for the last three days. Several time we brought it to the notice of the PDB office. But they did nothing to solve the problem", said a resident. They threatened to besiege the PDB office if the officials did not solve the problem very soon.
