Providing relief to power consumers from poor families after the economic distress due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Deputy CM OP Soni on Saturday announced the government’s move to waive the pending bills of consumers of up to 2 KW load.
Formally making the announcement, he also waived bills of consumers who were present there. He said this pro-poor decision taken by the Cabinet had been implemented at the grassroots level in response to the long-standing demand of the people whose power connections were cut off due to non-payment of bills. He said now the Punjab Government would pay the arrears of such defaulters itself.
