1. Gruha Jyothi guidelines for new houses, new power connections to be issued in 2 days
The Congress government’s flagship electricity scheme – Gruha Jyothi – is expected to benefit 2.14 crore domestic consumers across Karnataka. Around ₹13,000 crore would be required by the government to fulfil the promise of 200 units of power for free.
Speaking to mediapersons, Energy Minister K. J. George said the guidelines for people who have either shifted houses or moved into a new house — who have not lived in the place for one year — would be announced in the next two days.
