Srinagar- Senior National Conference (NC) leader Tanvir Sadiq today reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to its manifesto pledge of providing 200 units of free electricity to households across Jammu and Kashmir stating that from March next year, people will get free power as promised.
Speaking to reporters here, Sadiq said that while the initiative could be implemented immediately, doing so would require additional power curtailments, something the government wants to avoid to ensure a fair and consistent supply. “This promise is not symbolic—it’s backed by action. We are finalizing the modalities to roll it out without affecting the current power supply. The formal announcement will come by March next year,” he said.
The scheme is expected to offer much-needed relief to residents, particularly as energy prices continue to rise. Sadiq expressed confidence that this measure would elevate the standard of living while aligning with the government’s vision of development and welfare for all.
Dispelling rumors of discord between Raj Bhavan and the elected government, Sadiq called such speculation baseless. “There is no rift. Jammu and Kashmir is a Union Territory, and cooperation between institutions is key to effective governance,” he said.
This announcement underscores the NC government’s determination to deliver on its promises while ensuring that essential services remain uninterrupted, signaling a step toward a brighter, more stable future for the people of J&K.
