Assam: Bijli Mahotsav concludes in Cachar

Silchar: Electricity distribution has improved a lot in the last 8 years. Earlier, there would be load shedding of 8-10 hours daily, but now there's constant power availability for 24 hours.

This was claimed by the officials of state distribution in the programme organized under Ujjwal Bharat, Ujjwal Bhavishya at Saiyadpur on Thursday. The credit for this goes to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Grameen Bijli Yojana, as per the officials.

Speaking at the event, district development commissioner, Rajiv Roy said that if electricity is produced in sufficient quantity, then availability would not be an issue and it should be taken care of that electricity is not wasted in any way. To save electricity, households and offices should turn off any unnecessary machines or gadgets. If these practices are continued, then India would be self reliant in the field of electricity by 2047.
