Power subsidy: LG’s approval pending, people to get inflated bills from Monday: Delhi Power Minister Atishi

Delhi Power Minister Atishi said power subsidy to nearly 46 lakh people in the City will cease from Friday onwards as Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena is yet to clear the file to extend the subsidy to consumers.

In what could emerge as the latest flashpoint between the City Government and the Lt Governor’s Office, the Minister said she has sought a meeting with Saxena over the issue, but there has been no response.

“The subsidy we give to 46 lakh people will stop from today. From Monday onwards, people will get inflated bills without subsidy,” she said at a press conference here.
