Registered gaushalas to get subsidised power

Registered cowsheds in the state will now get subsidised power at Rs 2 per unit while the government will pay the remaining amount to the power distribution companies.

As per a letter from the Chief Engineer Commercial, Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN), to all chief engineers, superintending engineers, XENs and other junior officials, dated March 8, the new order would supersede an earlier direction where Rs 2 per unit used to be charged subject to a maximum subsidy amount of Rs 2,000 per month per gaushala.

Now, gaushalas registered with the Haryana Gau Seva Aayog will be eligible for the subsidised tariff. President of the Gau Seva Aayog Sarvan Kumar Garg said there were 563 registered gaushalas in the state.
