JAMMU, Aug 25: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) vice-president Jammu-Poonch Parliament Constituency, Rajesh Gupta today condemned the metering of water connections in all the cities and major towns of J&K from April next year and warned the Government for serious consequences.
He appealed the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to don’t implement fully metering the electric connections in entire J&K and totally metering of domestic as well as commercial water connections as water tariff in J&K has witnessed sharp hike in the rates during the last three years from nearly Rs 1600 to Rs 2770 per year.
“This new tariff on drinking water is likely to exert much burden on the poor, lower middle class and the middle- class people from next financial year, ” he asserted and warned for a mass agitation if the Government will not take its decision back.
