The district magistrate Ganderbal on Saturday rectified an order issued by him in which he had imposed a blanket ban on heating appliances in winter.

As per the fresh order, the DM Ganderbal amended earlier notice issued by him.

“The order under reference mentions 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,” reads the order.

It added that any violation of this order shall attract punitive action as warranted under relevant law. (KNO)
