Back bone of economy
There is no doubt that uninterrupted power supply will give a lot of boost not only to the economy but to the industrial growth in Jammu and Kashmir and it can be the main force behind investments if the government wants people to come in a big way to rebuild Jammu and Kashmir.
Recently LG Manoj Sinha reiterated Government’s commitment to make the UT power surplus in the next four years, and urged people to be equal partners in this transformative journey.
Every citizen of Jammu and Kashmir is a participant in the process of nation-building and their contribution to socio-economic development and progress in every sector is invaluable.
He appealed to the people to support the efforts of the administration by installing smart meters to reduce power theft and enabling the government to provide 24×7 quality power supply to all the consumers across the region.
