Arvind Kejriwal assures relief to traders, industrialists from fixed power charges

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has assured traders and industrialists that steps to provide them relief from fixed power charges in view of the Covid-19 pandemic will be taken soon, an official statement said on Friday.

The traders and industrialists in the city have been demanding relief from fixed charges, saying their shops and factories were closed due to the lockdown and also because they suffered losses due to shutdown of all commercial and industrial activities.

“The Chief Minister assured adequate steps will be taken to provide relief, vis-a-vis the fixed power charges that the commercial and industrial units are obliged to pay despite economic losses due to Corona,” a Delhi government statement said.
