Himachal CM launches 125 units of free electricity scheme
Just months ahead of the assembly elections, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Sunday launched 125 units of free electricity scheme for consumers.
Presiding over a function organised by Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Ltd here, he said the government has taken many such welfare decisions to ensure direct benefits to the common man.
He said the government recently took a decision to provide 125 units of free power that has benefitted over 14 lakh electricity consumers as they are now getting bills with zero electricity.
Thakur said the state is generating surplus electricity. It has about 24,567 MW power potential, out of which 11,138 MW has been harnessed.
