Chandigarh, May 25
Power Minister Ranjit Singh has said there would be no surcharge on electricity till the lockdown in the state.
Taking to the media here today, he said the power security of four months had been deferred for one year due to the pandemic. He said 236 teams of about 1,700 members had been formed in the department to conduct power theft raids in industries, brick kilns, shopping malls and resorts across the state.
He said ever since he had taken the charge, about 2,600 power theft cases had been detected after raids in the field and accordingly, fine had been imposed on defaulters, generating revenue of Rs 536 crore.
Showing concern over transparency in bills, he said the department had purchased 10 lakh smart meters. — TNS
