Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has exempted domestic and commercial consumers from the material and storage cost, as well as supervision charges, for shifting of 11 KV HT/LT lines passing over or along their buildings and not having sufficient electrical clearance.
The exemption was granted after the Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh ordered the PSPCL to issue necessary guidelines in this regard to mitigate the hardships faced by the consumers.
The move would go a long way in ensuring the safety and security of residents from high tension wires.
At the same time, the Chief Minister also appealed to the residents to come forward to make optimum use of the benefits offered by the Powercom.
