it is very strange that Electricity authorities in Punjab are denying new electricity connections to urban residents on the grounds that their colonies are yet to be regularised . Roti Kapada Makaan are basic needs of every Indian . Regularisation of urban colonies is time consuming and entails many complicated bureaucratic procedures which a common urban Indian may not find easy to fulfill.
Besides , only urban Punjabis need to get their colonies approved .
.
This is another move discriminatory to urban Punjabis . Electricity is being given free to numerous rural agriculturists some of whom own land worth hundreds of crores. Whereas if an humble urban Punjabi runs a shop , he is charged under a penal category euphemistically called " commercial " electricity connections This is as if it is a crime for urban Punjabis to earn a livelihood.
( If any handicapped Punjabi starts to earn by running a shop from his House ( he cannot go out ) he would be punished by the electricity authorities on the ground that he does not have " commercial " electricity connection)
This discrimination against urban Punjabis and use of electricity as a political tool should end in Punjab..
Electricity supply in Punjab should be de -politicised and kept above "Vote Bank " politics.
Commercial Category should be abolished immediately
