JAMMU, July 12: DDC Member, Suchetgarh, Taranjit Singh Tony today vowed to address the long pending demand of villagers in Shatraiyan to shift 11KV line as the same was posing risk to the villagers.
Tony has visited Shatraiyan in Suchetgarh to take stock of people’s problems in the area. During the interaction, villagers apprised the DDC Member about the High Tension Line of 11,000 Volts passing over the village posing risk to people. They said that for the last 15 years they had taken up this matter with successive Governments but nothing substantial came to fore.

He also promised to replace all the dilapidated power cables in the vicinity to ensure uninterrupted supply and minimize accidents. He also vowed to take up other works which are pending since long in a phased manner.
