Speaking at an event at a convention centre in Jammu, the LG also announced, “From today, 6603 smart meter households connected to 4 feeders of Jammu will receive quality electricity.”

The LG said that the move will enable consumers to monitor their power consumption behavior and regulate it accordingly.

“The Pre-paid feature, to be enabled in the coming days, will provide desired flexibility in the consumption of electricity to the consumers,” said the Lt Governor.

Similar arrangements are being emulated in Kashmir as well, he added.

For the last seven decades, no credible efforts were made to increase neither the power capacity nor the transmission & distribution capacity was strengthened, the Lt Governor said.

“The present government, for the last one and half year, is making sustained efforts to ensure reliable power supply to consumers, besides reducing transmission losses and improving distribution efficiency,” he further added.
