Jammu Tawi, May 8 -- A major power blackout swept across Jammu late Wednesday night, fueling panic among residents amid rising Indo-Pak tensions as unverified rumors circulating on social media and messaging platforms.
Authorities have yet to confirm the cause of the power outage, which affected large swathes of the region. Local officials have appealed for calm and warned against spreading misinformation. For any exigency, authorities have already set up control rooms in 10 districts.
