Govt is seeking revenge from people by installing smart meters: Malik

Excelsior Correspondent
Jammu, Sept 11: The Government is continuously implementing anti-people measures, as if seeking revenge from the people. Installation of smart meters in Jammu is one among that revenge; this was alleged by Rafiq Malik State President JKUT, Lok Janshakti Party (Ramvilas).
Addressing to the party workers, Malik said that instead of providing relief to the people, the Government keeps imposing unjust measures one after another.
He said “People of Jammu have been diligently paying their electricity bills, but now being gifted smart meters. They are not financially capable of paying the tariffs based on meter readings. We are not against the idea, but shouldn’t the authorities consider the people’s ability to pay?”
“The people from the unprivileged section wouldn’t be able to make their both ends meet if they spend their earnings on power bills,” he added.
