Women voters concerned about rising electricity bill amounts
SRINAGAR, Sep 25 (PTI): The election campaign of all the major political parties in Jammu and Kashmir revolved around the revocation and restoration of the erstwhile state’s special status but women voters are more worried about the rising electricity bill amounts.
An elderly woman, waiting for her turn to vote at a polling station in the heart of Srinagar city on Wednesday told a visiting foreign diplomat that she is concerned about the erratic electricity supply and the rising bill amounts.
“The electricity supply has been destroyed and tariff meters have been installed. Now they say water consumption will also be metered,” the woman in her late 60s told the US Deputy Chief of Mission in Delhi, Jorgan K Andrews.
