Early Times Report

JAMMU, Aug 10: Hari Singh Chib, President of District Congress Committee Jammu Rural, has raised serious concerns about the harassment being faced by the people of Jammu region with regard to the installation of Smart Meters.
Chib highlighted these concerns during a door-to-door campaign conducted with Uday Bhanu Chib, Senior Leader of Indian Youth Congress, in the Jammu North Assembly segment.
During the campaign, both the senior Congress leaders personally addressed the issues faced by the people and listened to their grievances. Hari Singh Chib observed that a major portion of the population is dissatisfied with the implementation of Smart Meters, as they have become a source of harassment for electricity consumers.
The DDC Rural President said that the electricity supply system in Jammu region is in complete disarray, and the installation of Smart Meters has only worsened the situation. He expressed his disappointment in the Power Department for leaving the people of Jammu region with no other option than to endure overcharged electricity bills and constant unscheduled power cuts. He asserted that the exorbitant electricity charges are beyond the means of the general masses, and the electricity bills are excessively inflated.
Uday Chib said that people are receiving electricity bills in thousands and even lakhs, indicating a new norm of charging consumers for electricity they have not used. He demanded a thorough investigation into the ongoing cheating and harassment of electricity consumers. He urged the concerned authorities to take action against those responsible for wrong bills and provide relief to the general masses.
He said government is purchasing power at an average rate of Rs 3.75 per unit then why bills in thousands are coming from houses of poor people.
Uday Chib highlighted the increased frequency of unscheduled power cuts, which have caused significant problems for the people, particularly the elderly, the ailing, and children. He emphasized that the Congress Party is the only solution to address these issues effectively. Acknowledging the plight faced by the people of Jammu region, the senior Congress leaders urged the residents to support the country’s oldest party in the upcoming polls in J&K, as they believe that only the Congress Party can address their concerns and bring about positive change.
