Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adi💞tyanath on Saturday held a review of the state's power generation, transmission and distribution system and s🍬tressed on the need for comprehensive reforms in the Electricity department.
Under the prime minister's guidance, every village, town and district in Uttar Pradesh has bee✃n🦂 illuminated in the last six years. There is uninterrupted power supply, he said.
&quo♌t;We are determined for 24×7 uninterrupted power supply in the entire state. To achieve self-sufficiency in the power sector, there is a need for comprehensive reforms in the energy sector," Adit✤yanath was quoted as saying in a release.
The biggest challenge for the🦄 Electricity department and discoms is to provide correct bills on time and to collect the amount from the consumers, he said and directed the power supply corporations to ensure that not even a single consumer gets the incorrect bill.
The department and power supply corporations will have to make concert💟ed efforts for timely collection of payments, he said. Adityanath also directed that there should not be any unnecessary power cuts anywhere and problems resolved without delay.
Feeder-wise accountability should be fixed. There should be better communication between all the discoms, he said. S🥃trict legal action should be taken against those who steal electricity but consumers should not be harassed in the name of investigations, the chief min✨ister said.
He also called for action against officers against whom complaints are lodged. Necessary steps should be taken to keep line losses to a minimum, Adityanath said and sought 🙈the implementation of a one-tim🎀e settlement scheme for defaulters.
