7 habitations of District Kishtwar set to get Grid Connectivity

KISHTWAR: The foundation stone for the restoration of grid connectivity to the habitations of Sazar, Dadi, Chowki, Ratana, Bamani, Kidroo, and Nawnatoo was laid today at Lidrary under the R&R plan of Keru HE project.

The esteemed gathering included BDC chairman Paddar, Arpan Singh, BDC chairman Nagseni, Mohammad Ashraf, DDC, Paddar Hari Krishan, DDC, Nagseni Faisal Hussain, SDM Paddar Dr Rishi Kumar Sharma, Tehsildar Nagseni Majid Jahangir, GM CVPP Kiru, and AEE JPDCL Sudhir Sharma besides others.

It is pertinent to mention that these habitations were de-energized after the charging of the 33 KV Paddar line during 2018. However, with the inclusion of four more habitations viz Dadi, Chowki, Ratana and Kidroo today, a total of seven habitations will now receive grid connectivity within the next 2-3 months as the current lines are not yet receiving stable electricity as committed by the executing agency, JPDCL Kishtwar.

The District Administration played a pivotal role in getting the work approved and tendered promptly, facilitating the progress of the restoration project.

All the elected members present at the event wholeheartedly praised the administration’s relentless efforts which have led to significant improvements in services and infrastructure, benefiting the local communities.
