BSL township residents to pay more for power
Bokaro: The Jharkhand State Electricity Regulatory Commission hiked electricity charges by five paise per unit for domestic LT and HT consumers in the Bokaro Steel Township, after seven years.
"This increase will affect BSL quarter residents, while plot holders and other categories like Commercial, Agricultural, and Streetlight services will see no change," said Manikant Dhan, chief of communication, BSL.
Sources said Bokaro Steel Plant is expected to generate an additional Rs 30 lakh annually due to this revision. The hike comes after a public hearing held last month, where the management proposed the tariff revision. Citizens, however, strongly opposed it. TNN
"Instead of burdening honest consumers, stop rampant power theft by illegal occupants," said one attendee during last month's public hearing. Another added, "Let BSL plug the leaks before raising rates."
