SAD asks CM to intervene and waive off fixed power charges for industry

Chandigarh, Mar 30 (UNI) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Monday requested Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to intervene and help the industrial sector in this moment of crisis by waiving off all fixed electricity charges on all industrial units till the situation does not normalize besides deferring payment of old electricity dues for three months.
In a statement here, senior SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia also urged the Chief Minister to extend further subsidies to the industrial units to enable them to pay their labour for the two-month period of March and April. He said this could include halving their electricity charges for a three-month period.
He said these steps were essential as the financial cycle of the industry had been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and they were not in a position to take any extra burden, be it of fixed electricity charges or wages of employees.
