Three villages located along the line of control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Keran area have been connected to the national grid amid heavy snowing and the Covid-19 lockdown.
Keran remains cut-off for nearly six months due to heavy snow. For three hours of electricity, the Keran area, with a population of 14,000 in four panchayats, was till recently dependent on three old diesel generator (DG) sets, for which fuel was transported from the district headquarters.
