Addressing a press conference at SKICC on the banks of Dal Lake Srinagar, the LG , as per KNO, said that the J&K administration had got huge power debts worth Rs 28000 crore as a legacy. “We have been able to repay it. I also want to put it on record that J&K people are getting cheapest power and there has been no power hike in the past three years,” the LG said, adding that people have to pay for the government services they avail.

“People must cooperate with us and pay for the power they use so that we can ensure 24×7 power for them,” he said, adding that the metering has been a successful step to prevent power theft.

Speaking about the UT’s budget passed in the Parliament, Sinha said the increase in the allocation shows the Centre’s seriousness towards development of J&K.

On July 23, Rs 1, 18,390 budget was presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for J&K in the Parliament.

Sinha said the J&K administration is committed to give a fillip to all sectors. “We are committed to give a big boost to all sectors whether it is agriculture, horticulture, power, infrastructure etc.,” he said.

The LG said that J&K administration has successfully ensured to pull out the J&K Bank from huge debts and turned it into a profit-making financial institution of the UT.
