Power consumers are irked over the state government, led by Capt Amarinder Singh, for increasing the power tariff from June 1.
All categories of consumers are annoyed at the government for regular annual increase of the tariff which they fear will only add to inflation and hit the middle icome group families.
Surjit Singh, a resident of Green Avenue, said Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) must adopt technology to stop pilferage and other losses to bring down its financial stress. He said the increasing tariff was not a proper solution to cover up the losses being incurred by the PSPCL. A thorough study should be conducted by consultants who can point out the deficiencies and loopholes which are the main reasons behind losses.
