The People's Democratic Party and Apni Party staged a protest in Jammu & Kashmir demanding a rollback of the recent increase in electricity tariffs.
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the Apni Party organized a protest in Jammu and Kashmir to object to the recent increase in power tariffs. Party representatives addressed a gathering of supporters, reiterating their demand that the tariff hike be withdrawn.
The protest was triggered by the state government's decision to raise electricity rates, a move the parties say will add financial strain to households and small enterprises across the region. Both parties emphasized that affordable power is essential for the local economy and public welfare.
After the rally, participants called on the administration to reconsider the tariff revision and to engage with political stakeholders before implementing any further changes.
