In a major relief for the people of Punjab, the Bhagwant Mann–led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has introduced a simplified process for electricity connections across the state. The announcement was made by Punjab’s Power Minister Sanjeev Arora (@SanjeevArora_PB), who highlighted key reforms aimed at making the system more convenient and citizen-friendly.
Bhagwant Mann Government Eases Electricity Connection Rules in Punjab
Under the new policy, the government has eliminated the requirement of submitting a test report for connections up to 50 KW, a move expected to benefit thousands of consumers, especially small industries, businesses, and households. For higher capacity connections above 50 KW, the process has also been streamlined to ensure minimal paperwork and faster approvals.
The initiative aligns with Punjab’s broader agenda
Power Minister Arora emphasized that these changes are part of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s vision to provide hassle-free, transparent, and efficient services to the people. The initiative aligns with Punjab’s broader agenda of improving governance and reducing bureaucratic delays in public utilities.
Citizens have welcomed this step, calling it a progressive reform that will make obtaining new electricity connections smoother and quicker. The government reiterated its commitment to ensuring uninterrupted power supply and user-friendly processes under the ongoing “Har Ghar Bijli, Har Dil Khushi” campaign.
