Srinagar: Two lakh smart meters were sanctioned for Srinagar and Jammu under Prime Minister Development Package (PMDP) scheme, Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR), Government of Jammu and Kashmir said on Wednesday.

“2 lakh meters sanctioned under PMDP- one lakh each for Srinagar and Jammu cities,” the DIPR tweeted.
