Rajouri: Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana- ‘Saubhagya’ back in September 25, 2017, which as a major win has now helped the people of Rajouri district in Jammu and Kashmir to receive electricity.
Over 20,000 far-flung houses have received power who were facing issues due to lack of electricity.
“There were around 20,000 houses in the district that never had access to electricity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it possible by implementing schemes. We have provided all the houses with electricity,” Sajid Parvez Sarpanch told news agency ANI.
Under Saubhagya scheme, free electricity connections to all households including both APL and poor families in rural areas and poor families in urban areas is provided.
