The district administration Ganderbal has ammended its order issued on Friday that prohibited the usage of heating devices.
In a fresh order issued by the District Magistrate Ganderbal Shayambir, the district admin said,” Whereas this office has issued an order under section 144 of the Cr.PC, witha n objective to ensure efficient use of electricity, its conservation and prevent the use of prohibited / unauthorised crude heating devices.”
The lastest order read that the order under referencementions about other devices as well and therefore, the said order needs correction.
“Therefore, in order to achieve the said objective I, District Magistrate, Ganderbal, in exercise of powers vested in me by virtue of section 144 Cr.PC, amend the operative part of the said order and issue directions as- “for efficient use of energy, its conservation and for safety of life and property, do hereby prohibit sale, purchase and use of banned nichrome coil based crude water heaters and crude
cooking heaters, which do not conform to the relevant specifications of the Bureau of
Indian Standard”.
Any violation of this order shall attract punitive action as warranted under relevant law, the DM Ganderbal warned.
