Smart Meters

Sir,
I write to express my support for the installation of smart meters in Jammu and Kashmir, a crucial step towards modernizing our approach to electricity consumption. The resistance, largely fuelled by political interests, undermines the long-term benefits these meters offer, including accurate billing, reduced corruption, and real-time monitoring.
The shift towards smart meters aligns with global trends in sustainable energy practices, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and simplifying the payment process for consumers. It is disheartening to witness opposition based on short-term electoral considerations rather than the collective welfare and progress of our community.
I urge policymakers and the public to embrace this change, recognizing its potential to create a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.
