Tangmarg, Nov. 21 -- Former Cabinet Minister and Apni Party Senior Vice President Ghulam Hassan Mir has sharply criticised the government for imposing a 20% winter surcharge on electricity bills, calling it a direct betrayal of the promises made to the people.

Mir, in his statement posted on Twitter, wrote: "So-called people's govt who had promised free two hundred units of power to every household monthly is now charging 20% surcharge in winter when more power is needed."

He said that this decision reflects a complete collapse of governance, as the administration had publicly committed to providing 200 units of free electricity per month, yet is now burdening people during the harshest months of winter.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp...
