Educate farmers on meters: CM Jagan to Energy Department

VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed the Energy Department to write to farmers explaining the benefits of installing meters for agricultural connections. Officials should inform the farmers that they will not be burdened with the fixing of meters and the entire power bill will be paid by the government. The success of the pilot project in Srikakulam, where almost 33.75 MU of energy was saved, should be highlighted as part of the awareness campaign, he suggested.
