Himachal Statehood Day: CM Jai Ram Thakur announces free power to households consuming 60 units per month
Himachal Pradesh Chief minister Jai Ram Thakur announced free electricity to households consuming up to 60 units per month, slashed the tariff for some other categories, and announced 31 per cent dearness allowance (SDA) to employees on the occasion of 52nd Statehood Day on Tuesday. The decisions have come when the state Assembly polls are scheduled to be held by year-end.
Addressing a state-level function at the Thodo ground in Solan, Thakur said the domestic consumers whose electricity consumption is up to 60 units per month will not be charged any money while those who consume up to 125 units will be charged only Re 1 per unit.
