Earlier, in the remote area of Shopian in Keller Tehsil, various villages of Dunnadi were without power even after 70 years of India's independence.
Now for the first time, due to the relentless efforts of the electricity department and the district administration, these remote villages have been electrified.
Reportedly, people were overjoyed as they saw light bulbs illuminate their houses for the first time.
