They voiced their worries about the financial implications of the smart meters, fearing that they would further burden households already facing difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The protesters chanted slogans denouncing the Government\u2019s decision, citing its detrimental impact on the welfare of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost of the people here are poor and cannot afford hefty bills. We would rather face dire consequences than allow the installation of smart meters in our area,\u201d one woman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; As usual, nobody from the authorities gave heed to their concerns. JKPDCL has already made it clear that smart meters will be installed in every nook and corner of Jammu and Kashmir.
