The Punjab Cabinet has decided to revoke the previous Congress government's Rs 3 per unit power subsidy for domestic consumers, a move expected to generate Rs 1,500-1,800 crore annually for the state. Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema stated that 300 units of free electricity per month will remain available for domestic users. Opposition parties, including Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal, criticized the decision as an increased financial burden on consumers, with Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring calling it a 'blatant betrayal.' Cheema defended the withdrawal as a means to encourage judicious electricity usage, suggesting that consumers could lower their bills by reducing energy consumption. The decision was formalized during a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, and it reflects ongoing tensions over energy policy in Punjab.
