MUZAFFARABAD: Following massive protests, the Azad Kashmir government has implemented a new electricity tariff, setting the rate at Rs3 per unit for consumers. This decision comes in the wake of an agreement with the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) after recent violent protests. Details reveal that the new tariff rates are Rs3 per unit for up to 100 units, Rs5 per unit for 100-300 units, and Rs6 per unit for above 300 units. The government has issued a notification to enforce these rates, fulfilling its promise to make electricity more affordable. During the protests, multiple vehicles were damaged, and public life was disrupted with the closure of markets, trade centers, offices, schools, and restaurants across AJK.
