CM Khattar attends 83rd Meeting of Forum of Regulators

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar attended the 83rd Meeting of the Forum of Regulators on Friday.
At the meeting, Khattar said Haryana has done remarkable work in the electricity sector and is among the leading states in the country. He also mentioned the state government’s “Mhara Gaon and Jagmag Gaon Yojana,” which aims to provide 24-hour electricity in the villages. Notably, more than 80 percent of villages in Haryana are getting electricity around the corner.
After becoming the Chief Minister in 2014, he appealed to the people of the state to pay the electricity bill, and the people cooperated with the chief minister’s request.
Electricity line losses in the state were 29 percent in 2014, which have now been reduced to 14 percent, thereby saving about Rs 6,000 crore for the exchequer. All four electricity corporations in Haryana are reporting gains today.
“Our government did not increase the rates of electricity in the last 8 years but brought relief to the people by reducing the rates of electricity. Remarkable progress has also been made in the power infrastructure. Rooftop Solar Policy has been implemented to promote the use of solar energy in government buildings,” Khattar said.
Further, talking about solar power, the CM said 30,000 connections have been given to citizens and work is in progress for another 50,000 units.
