Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced a major relief package for domestic electricity consumers in the state. Under the new policy, households in Punjab will now get up to 600 units of free electricity per month.
This initiative is aimed at reducing the financial burden on middle and lower-income families, especially during the hot summer months when electricity usage increases due to fans, coolers, and air conditioners. People can now comfortably use air conditioners and other appliances without worrying about high electricity bills, as long as their consumption stays within the 600-unit limit.
The announcement has been widely welcomed by the public, particularly in rural and urban residential areas. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stated that the government is committed to providing essential services like electricity at affordable rates to improve the quality of life of common citizens.
To ensure the smooth implementation of this scheme, the Punjab government has assured that proper measures have been taken to keep the electricity department financially stable. The state will continue to support the power sector through efficient management and timely subsidies.
This bold decision is expected to benefit millions of households across Punjab and is being seen as a significant step towards public welfare by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.
