JAMMU, May 24: A delegation of the Durganagar Welfare Coordination Committee today met with the Managing Director of Jammu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (JPDCL) and senior officers of the Public Health Engineering (PHE) Department to discuss pressing issues related to electricity and water supply in Ward Number 64.
The delegation, comprising Sanjay Ganjoo, M K Razdan, and Chand Ambardar, highlighted the problems of unscheduled power cuts and frequent tripping despite the area having 100% metering and being among the top contributors in revenue generation.

Taking immediate note, the MD JPDCL issued on-spot directions to the concerned SE, XENs of Distribution and STD, and AEEs to find a permanent solution.

They also contacted the SE PHE to expedite the process.
The Committee urged the departments to address these long-standing issues promptly to provide relief to the residents.
