Minister for Power Development Department, Ali Mohammad Sagar, conducted an extensive tour of Jammu city and its surrounding areas to assess the existing power infrastructure. He also reviewed ongoing augmentation works and addressed public grievances.
During his visit to major grid stations, including Gladni, Canal Road, and Janipur, the minister emphasized the importance of reinforcing the transmission and distribution network to ensure a consistent electricity supply. This is crucial to meet the increasing domestic, commercial, and industrial demands.
At the Gladni Grid Station, it was reported that an additional 80 MVA capacity is currently under execution and is expected to be operational within the next six months. This enhancement aims to improve power supply to areas such as Gandhi Nagar, Channi Himmat, Bathindi, and adjacent localities. The minister also reviewed emergency backup systems to guarantee supply continuity during unforeseen events. The information is based on a report by Greater Kashmir.
