31 May 2024 CW Team

Jammu's energy authority has reversed its earlier power cut decision, committing to provide 24/7 electricity to the region. This significant policy shift aims to address the widespread public dissatisfaction caused by frequent power outages. Residents and businesses in Jammu have long struggled with inconsistent power supply, which has hindered economic activities and daily life.

The promise of uninterrupted electricity is expected to boost the region?s economy by ensuring that businesses can operate without the disruption of power cuts. This is particularly beneficial for industries reliant on continuous power, such as manufacturing and IT services. Additionally, reliable electricity is crucial for healthcare facilities, schools, and households, improving overall quality of life and safety.

The energy authority?s move is also part of a broader initiative to modernise Jammu?s infrastructure. Upgrades to the power grid and the adoption of new technologies are expected to enhance efficiency and reduce the likelihood of future outages. The commitment to 24/7 power is a step towards aligning Jammu with national standards of energy reliability and sustainability.

Public response to the announcement has been largely positive, with many expressing relief and optimism about the region?s future development. Continuous electricity supply is seen as a fundamental right and a necessity for modern living. This change reflects the authorities? responsiveness to public needs and their dedication to fostering a more stable and prosperous environment.

Overall, the revocation of the power cut decree and the assurance of 24/7 electricity mark a new chapter for Jammu, poised to bring about significant social and economic benefits. The region?s progress towards a more reliable power supply infrastructure sets a precedent for other areas facing similar challenges.
