Jammu and Kashmir BJP Calls for Accountability Over Power Discom Issues
The Jammu and Kashmir BJP has raised concerns about the performance of Jammu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (JPDCL) and Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL), citing inflated electricity bills, defective smart meters, and frequent power cuts. BJP spokesperson Girdhari Lal Raina demanded separate performance assessments for both corporations, highlighting high technical and commercial losses and calling for accountability in meter maintenance. The party criticized the practice of linking power curtailment to feeder-level losses, which they say unfairly penalizes regular consumers, and urged immediate relief for affected customers.
