  "summary": "The prolonged shutdown has widened the region’s power deficit. Jammu & Kashmir’s peak electricity demand stands at about 2,500MW in summer and 3,000MW in winter. With both Baglihar units largely unavailable for most of the past week, Jammu & Kashmir faced a shortfall of nearly 900MW. Built on the Chenab river, Baglihar stages I and II are among Jammu & Kashmir’s key power sources.",
