Srinagar, Jan 03 : In wake of the prediction that Jammu and Kashmir may receive yet another spell of major snowfall from tomorrow, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said that the government is ready to tackle the weather vagaries.
Chief minister said, “The last spell of snow has provided us with an experience. Wherever the work was good it will be repeated and wherever there were acunas that will be taken care of this time.”
Replying to a query about the prevailing electricity scenario, Omar said, “This year’s situation is better than the previous years, but power cuts take place, we are trying to provide the electricity as per schedule. Whenever a system develops any snag, every attempt is made to rectify the fault at the earliest.”
Asked about the reports that the name of Jammu and Kashmir may be changed, Omar said, “There is no such proposal and no one can change J&K’s name without the permission of the government.”
He refused to comment on the claims of the Centre that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has improved after the abrogation of the Article 370—(KNO)
