Minister for Power. Nawang Rigzin Jora called on Union Power Minister. Sushil Kumar Shinde at New Delhi today and urged for speedy clearance of various power projects submitted by the state government to the centre.
The minister apprised Shinde about the implementation centrally sponsored schemes like Rajiv Gandhi Grameem Vidytikaran Yojna and APDRP.
Mr. Jora sought early release of funds for APDRP projects in Leh and Kargil districts in view of the limited working season and the critical needs of the area.
