Power tariff cut by ₹3, 11% DA hike for Punjab govt staff: Channi’s Diwali bonanza
Punjab chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday announced a slew of relief measures for citizens and state government employees close on the wheels of Diwali festivities.
He said power tariff for residential consumers in the state having upto 7 kilowatt load connection was being brought down by ₹3 per unit across all the slabs. For state government employees, he announced an 11 per cent hike in dearness allowance and urged them to sit for talks and not agitate over any of their demands till the next assembly election.
He, however, refused to comment on the resignation by advocate general APS Deol. However, an officer in the CMO confirmed that resignation has been accepted and further course of action will be announced shortly.
