N-power to meet winter requirements

Srinagar Nov 16 . The Jammu and Kashmir government has decided to import 420 MW power from Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant and Power Trading Corporation to meet power requirements during the winter season when local generation goes down.

``We have decided to import 120 MW power from Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant while another 200 MW and 100 MW will be imported from Power Trading Corporation during off-peak time and peak hours respectively to meet power requirements of the Valley during the winter season,'' the Minister for Power, Mohammad Sharief Niaz, told a high level meeting of Power Development Department to review power supply in the Valley.

Urging the people to cooperate with the PDD in collection of power tariff, Mr Niaz said no one was above the law and any sort of disparity or discrimination will not be allowed and every consumer must pay the tariff.
