JAMMU, Sept 18: Congress- NC candidate from Jammu East Yogesh Sawhney expressed deep concern over the persistent power shortages and skyrocketing electricity tariff in Jammu.
Speaking on the issue, Sawhney emphasized that the issue has become one of the most troublesome concerns for the residents of Jammu East. He highlighted how frequent power outages are affecting daily life, businesses, and essential services in the region.
Sawhney stated that despite numerous assurances from the current administration, the situation has only worsened over time. “The people of Jammu are suffering. They face long hours of load shedding and are burdened by high power tariffs. This is unacceptable, and the Government must be held accountable,” he remarked.
He urged the administration to take immediate corrective measures to ensure the uninterrupted supply of electricity, especially as the region prepares for the upcoming festival season.
The Congress leader also asserted that addressing the power crisis will be a top priority for the party if it returns to power. “Congress is committed to resolving this issue. We will work towards ensuring that affordable and reliable electricity reaches every household in Jammu. The people deserve better, and we will not rest until this basic necessity is fulfilled,” Sawhney promised, drawing attention to the need for reforms in the energy sector.
Cong leader’s comments have resonated with many residents of Jammu East, who have long been vocal about the need for a more reliable power infrastructure. With elections approaching, Sawhney urged the people to think deeply on these points before casting their vote.
