Gurez set to get regular power supply for first time
For the first time, Gurez valley is set to get regular electricity supply as the Power department is working to complete a transmission line to the border area.
Bandipora-Gurez transmission line project is being executed by Jammu Kashmir Power Development Corporation Limited. The 67-km line will pass over high altitude and avalanche-prone passes of Gurez, especially Razdan Top at an elevation of near 12,000 ft.
The tough topography and extreme weather conditions is a cause of concern among local population. They say the transmission line could develop major faults during harsh winter when the area receives heavy snowfall.
