A DH report has resulted in the implementation of the first three projects under the ‘Soura Gruha Yojane’ solar rooftop scheme by Bescom, four years after the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) launched it.
While DH has reported poor implementation of the project in Bescom limits several times in the past, its report on December 29 prompted Bescom officials to meet the vendors to iron out the problems and implement the first three projects.
“I wrote to the MNRE and contacted the principal secretary based on the articles published by DH and eventually, the process gained momentum. The vendors are now coming forward to take up work,” said Kochu Shankar, a resident of Horamavu and one of the first few beneficiaries of the scheme.
