Lt Governor Manoj Sinha of Jammu and Kashmir inaugurated 22 power transmission and distribution projects worth Rs 216 crore at Samba, according to officials.
He claimed that J&K’s power infrastructure, which had been neglected for decades, is undergoing rapid transformation.
“Today’s development represents a giant stride in capacity augmentation and improvement in power supply to consumers of Jammu, Samba, Hiranagar, Kathua, Udhampur, and adjoining areas. The new power projects will meet the power supply demand of the citizens as well as the industrial sector,” he added.
