The Federation of Punjab Small Industries’ Association (FOPSIA) and Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertaking (CICU) have condemned the state government’s decision to increase the power tariff. FOPSIA chief Badish K Jindal has termed the move a ‘gift’ of the ruling party to the people of the state after its victory in the Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll.
He said the industrial sector was already under recession and the hike would be unbearable for it. The PSPCL has increased the fixed and consumption charges for all categories of power usage.
