While the CM called for bringing in a one-time settlement (OTS) scheme to encourage people to clear their pending dues, Yadav asked the government to waive off pending electricity dues from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022. Problems faced by the public during the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to an estimate, the state is capable of supplying 20,800 MW of electricity against the demand of 23,000 MW. According to information shared by the office of Urban Development and Energy Minister AK Sharma in UP, it was decided to supply an additional one million metric tonnes of coal by rail as well as road to Anpara Thermal Power Station with a capacity of 2,630. MW Sharma has also been conducting “amazing inspections” of substations.
On Monday, CM Yogi called for “comprehensive reforms” in the power sector and stressed on encouraging people to make timely payment of electricity bills, thereby getting the right bill at the right time. He said that special efforts are needed in rural areas to increase efficiency in billing and collection agencies. The heat of the power crisis, which comes with a major national crisis, has been felt even by the BJP’s own representatives. Minister of State (Independent Charge) Dinesh Pratap Singh wrote to Sharma last month complaining that the people of his MLC area in Rae Bareli were seriously upset due to extreme power cuts, urging Sharma to bring back the supply to their old levels. . BJP MLA from Dhanghat assembly constituency Ganesh Chauhan had also issued a video statement to “buy time from him” in resolving the crisis.
