Twenty five lakh domestic consumers of Punjab have got ‘zero’ electricity bill, Power Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO said on Saturday.
Talking to reporters in Amritsar, the Minister said that this is the first time that the government is fulfilling its election promises in the initial year itself, otherwise governments have been fulfilling election promises only in the last year of their tenure. He said that due to the relief given by the Punjab government of 300 units per month, the electricity bills of 25 lakh domestic consumers of the state have been ‘zero’.
The Power Minister said that no caste or religion has been made a basis under this electricity amnesty scheme, but every household consumer who consumes up to 600 units of electricity in two months will get ‘zero’ electricity bill.
