The Jammu & Kashmir cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, approved a reorganization of the Jal Shakti Department and deliberated on providing 200 free electricity units monthly to AAY (Antyodaya Anna Yojana) families under a central solar scheme. Officials identified mismatches between Department of Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs data and Power Development Department figures on eligible families, and opted to use FCSCA records as the baseline for distribution.
