Bihar News: If you live in Bihar and electricity expenses have ever become a problem, then now you are going to get a big relief. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s government has announced a public welfare scheme before the elections, in which every domestic consumer of the state can be given up to 100 units of electricity free every month.
Bihar News Why is this scheme special, and how much relief will it give
This scheme is being made especially keeping in mind the poor and middle-class families. Getting 100 units of electricity free every month will effectively reduce the electricity bill, which will bring financial relief to households. The Chief Minister has said that it was first approved by the Finance Department, and now it will be proposed in the cabinet.
Bihar News Who is the target, and who will not get the benefit
This facility is only for domestic consumers. People with commercial connections will not be a part of this benefit under this scheme. The energy department is also working on the possibilities of giving special concessions on the electricity given to farmers, so that the families using agriculture can also get important benefits.
Additional benefit to those with smart meters
There are about 2.08 crore electricity consumers in Bihar, out of which smart prepaid meters are already installed in about 60 lakh houses. These consumers were already getting a discount of 25 paise per unit. After the implementation of the new scheme, apart from 100 units of free electricity, the earlier discount will also continue, which will further increase the total benefit.
Bihar News This announcement also holds political significance
This announcement of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar before the elections has also become a topic of discussion in politics. The opposition party had already made these promises, but the government has left the opponents behind by making this announcement before that. This step is also being seen as a strategic effort to get public support. Navbharat Times
