SRINAGAR: Responding to a directive from the Senior Superintendent of Police, Srinagar, the Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Srinagar have issued an order requiring Tehsildars of District Srinagar to provide magisterial support during the installation of smart electricity meters within their respective jurisdictions.
This directive builds upon a previous order dated December 15, 2022, which aimed to foster cooperation between administrative and police authorities.
The specified Tehsildars for this task across various tehsils include Maeen Kakroo for South, Kaisar Mehmood for North, and Ms Aaliya Tabasum for Khanyar, Saqib Saleem for Chanapora, Kaisar Ahmad for Shaltang, Ishfaq Ahmad Khan for Eidgah, and Rakib Ahmad Ganai for Panthachowk.
These Tehsildars will collaborate closely with the respective Superintendent of Police in their zones, ensuring seamless magisterial assistance during the installation process.
In the face of ongoing protests by local residents expressing concerns about the introduction of smart electricity meters, the deployment of magistrates, working in tandem with the police, is intended to address these concerns and facilitate the orderly installation of the new meters.
