Turnaround in power sector
The government of Jammu and Kashmir has taken slew of measures in the recent past not only to streamline the power distribution system but also to create power infrastructure in different districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
The turnaround in the power transmission and distribution sector in the last one year in Jammu & Kashmir has helped in achieving reliable, quality, and sustainable electricity supply.
The government has appealed to people to pay the pending fee to the power development department so that they can further streamline the power distribution system.
Power sector of Jammu and Kashmir has not seen any development since the last three decades and further strengthening of infrastructure will help the government’s aim of providing uninterrupted supply to households even in the rural areas.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha recently dedicated 07 different power infrastructure projects worth Rs 10.11 crore to the public including new receiving stations and power augmentation in Kashmir Division.
The new projects inaugurated by the Lt Governor target 4 districts viz. Pulwama, Bandipora, Ganderbal, and Budgam would benefit 30,400 households.
