Srinagar, Apr 28: Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society Forum (JKCSF) has asked the administration to clear its policy on power supply and its tariff one time to let public come out from troubled confusion.
In a statement Chairman JKCSF Abdul Qayoom Wani expressed concern over the power crisis in Kashmir both in supply and in tariff segments. He said that every month people witness increase in power bills as there is no uniformity in metered and non metered consumers. “The power policy is vague and full of confusion. We find same tariff for elites who are well settled financially and same tariff for BPL and AAY consumers whose monthly income is even less than Rs 2,000. There is no rebate and consideration of poverty for downtrodden households of the society. On the other hand power supply continues to be interrupted while as the water level has largely risen in rivers and power generating resources,” Wani said.
