SRINAGAR, Dec 7 (NVI) Reiterating the commitment of the ruling National Conference (NC) to provide 200 units of electricity free in Jammu and Kashmir, its senior leader Tanvir Sadiq today said modalities of the scheme are being finalised and a formal announcement will come by March next year.
Speaking to reporters here, Sadiq said the scheme could be implemented right away but that would require additional power curtailments, which the government wants to avoid.
“This promise is not symbolic. It’s backed by action. We are finalizing the modalities to roll it out without affecting the current power supply. The formal announcement will come by March next year,” the NC MLA said.
The scheme is expected to offer much-needed relief to residents, particularly as energy prices continue to rise. Sadiq expressed confidence that this measure would elevate the standard of living while aligning with the government’s vision of development and welfare for all.
Dispelling rumors of discord between Raj Bhavan and the elected government, Sadiq called such speculation baseless. “There is no rift. Jammu and Kashmir is a Union Territory, and cooperation between institutions is key to effective governance,” he said.
This announcement underscores the NC government’s determination to deliver on its promises while ensuring that essential services remain uninterrupted, signaling a step toward a brighter, more stable future for the people of J&K. (News Vibes of India)
