Bus discount, free power up to 125 units in Himachal
To mark Himachal Day, the Jai Ram Thakur government Friday announced 125 units of free power, 50 per cent discount in fare for women on HRTC buses and free water for rural consumers.
Thakur made the announcements while presiding over the 75th state-level Himachal Day function in the historic town of Chowgan in Chamba district. The state is scheduled to go to polls in December this year.
The CM said that 50 per cent discount on HRTC bus fare for women will put a burden of about Rs 60 crore on the state exchequer. He said consumers using up to 125 electricity units will not be charged anything from July 1.
