Random increase by 200 rupees on electricity bills injustice to consumers: G A Mir

Random increase by 200 rupees on electricity bills injustice to consumers: G A Mir

Strongly urges Chief Minister to reform PDD functioning, fulfill promise of making electricity cheaper, take measures to provide 200 units of free electricity

Srinagar, Jun 12: Random increase by 200 rupees on electricity bills is injustice to people and needs to be rectified. People have been expecting electricity at cheaper rates given the promises and repeated assurances made to them before and after the elections, especially after the formation of the Govt.

It is astonishing that despite ensuring electricity on cheaper rates as was expected, the PDD department which is under the direct control of the Chief Minister is overcharging fees against the usage, violating the agreement between the consumer and the department (PDD), which cannot be justified. There is a need to reform PDD, for that matter, Congress Party seeks immediate indulgence of CM Omer Abdullah, who promised 200 units free to the poor consumers when elected to power. After failing to come upto the expectations of the people on this count, people are feeling betrayed leading to the disillusionment. The overcharging of electricity fee has contributed to further economic burden on consumers.

Congress Legislature Party Leader and AICC General Secretary Ghulam Ahmad Mir made these comments while reacting to the random increase of 200 rupees on electricity bills in Kashmir and elsewhere in J&K, as reported from various districts.

One fails to understand that despite ensuring supply of electricity on cheaper rates besides promises with regard to providing 200 units free as was promised, the unnecessary economic burden is being put on the consumers forcing them to pay extra charges which is against the violation of the agreement, Mir added and sought immediate indulgence of Chief Minister while strongly urging him to rectifying the overcharging process which is being unleashed by the PDD for unknown reasons, regretting that this is not the first time that PDD has randomly over charged the consumers, rather such unnecessary increase has been meted out to people multiple times during the last one year.

Govt must realize that people are under stress due to the economic crisis, so the unnecessary overcharging against electricity usage sans logic, cannot be justified, Mir rued, reiterating that the Govt is required to provide 200 units of free electricity to poor, besides roll back the unnecessary increase of 200 rupees on electricity bills.
