Kishtwar Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Kumar Shavan chaired a meeting with Jammu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (JPDCL) officials to assess the district’s power situation and winter readiness.

The DC was briefed on Kishtwar’s power infrastructure, which relies on a 132-kV line and grids managed by Jammu and Kashmir Power Transmission Corporation Limited (JKPTCL). The district’s power demand stands at 100 MW, while the current transformation capacity is 60 MVA, split between the 40 MVA Kattarswami Grid and the 20 MVA NHPC Colony Grid. Efforts are underway to augment Kattarswami Grid’s capacity by 30 MVA to meet growing demand.

The DC directed enforcement agencies to intensify action against electricity theft and illegal meter bypassing.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
