However, those who own large properties, use iPhones with 5G internet, and possess other high-tech devices will be required to pay their power bills based on their usage. The LG emphasized the need for these individuals to fulfill their payment responsibilities without excuses. He mentioned that in the past 70 years, J&K has generated 3400 MW of local power, and an equal amount will be produced in the next three years. The LG also stressed that areas with fully metered feeders will experience minimal power disruptions. He requested citizens to cooperate in swiftly installing smart meters. Additionally, he highlighted that people in J&K enjoy relatively affordable electricity rates compared to other states, despite having borrowed Rs 20,000 Crore worth of electricity in recent years. The LG acknowledged that geographical challenges and snowfall can lead to project delays, but the administration is working to overcome this issue. He also expressed optimism about elevating the income of J&K farmers, aiming to eventually make them the top earners in the country.
