Delhi BJP legislators on Tuesday staged a sit-in near Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence in the Civil Lines area over hike in the electricity tariff in the city.
Power tariff has been increased three times from what it was before 2014, said led Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, who led the protest.
Electricity distribution companies here have increased the power purchase adjustment cost (PPAC) by upto more than nine per cent following approval of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission, DERC, which would result in a hike in the monthly bills of consumers not getting subsidy.
