The state government’s electricity bill waiver scheme has now expanded across the entire state. Families from economically weaker sections and those with average incomes in all districts can benefit from having their outstanding electricity bills waived under this scheme.
To implement the electricity bill waiver scheme, the state government has decided to not only waive the outstanding electricity bills for families lacking sufficient funds but also offer significant discounts on future electricity bills.
With this special decision by the government, citizens no longer need to worry about rising electricity prices. This initiative is expected to benefit over 500,000 families by waiving their electricity bills.
