The Punjab government is planning to provide relief to power consumers in the state by either slashing the price of every unit or providing 300 units free of cost to every household.
Sources confirmed that the government was looking at various options and an announcement may be in the offing. “The decision has been left to the council of ministers, who will be meeting at 2 pm on Monday and take a final call,” the source said.
Punjab Chief Minister, Charanjit Singh Channi, tweeted on Sunday that his government will announce a historical decision on Monday at 4 pm.
