Right from the first day of the bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories, the Government is trying its level best to fulfill all demands of people besides addressing their grievances so that they may not suffer. But it was observed that despite several significant decisions taken by the ruling dispensation, there are some issues which continue to haunt the populace of J&K, both in rural as well as urban areas, including inadequate power and water supply. Where, on one hand, on the directions of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, PHE authorities are on their foot to ensure tapped water supply in every household very soon, on the other hand strenuous efforts are going on to ensure quality and adequate power supply across the Union Territory by improving the distribution network besides adopting a stern approach against non-regularized consumers and power theft cases. In its ongoing efforts, the administration inaugurated almost 20 power distribution projects in Bajalta, costing approximately Rs 41 crore. While terming the electricity a prerequisite for ensuring economical development, the LG Manoj Sinha said that the present administration is working hard to ensure round the clock power supply for people without any power cut. Seeking cooperation of people in the efforts of Government to improve the power sector by using electricity judiciously and paying electricity charges in time, he said that Government is taking a stern approach against power theft cases which are the main reason for transmission losses. The LG further said that a number of outsider investors are ready to set-up their units in J&K, which require adequate power supply, as such the administration is working dedicatedly to meet the objectives at the earliest. Criticizing the successive Governments of erstwhile state for adopting apathetic attitude towards the most important sector, LG said that J&K has been bestowed immense sources for power generation but it is really sad that earlier, the potential was not fully tapped due to which at present the UT has to face a lot of hardships in respect of electricity supply. Few days earlier also, the LG has inaugurated a number of power reformation projects in Samba. This spree of initiatives to improve the existing power network shows that the administration is determined to make J&K self-dependent in the power sector.
