SRINAGAR, Dec 26: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that people in the valley were facing difficulties due to intense cold conditions but the government would be able to provide uninterrupted electricity only after 100 per cent metering is achieved.
The chief minister said that the complaints of unscheduled power cuts would continue because there is pressure on the system. The problem is that some people have a (load) agreement of four bulbs, but they use four heaters, so Meter is the best way to address this, the more metering we have, the less power cuts there will be.
I hope we take J&K to 100 per cent metering so that we supply 24 hours electricity. God willing, we will achieve that very soon,” he added.
