Chandigarh, February 6

The Power Department has decided not to charge electricity meter security and rental from the consumers who had installed these meters at their own cost.

An order said if the meter security had been deposited earlier, it would be converted as the cost of the meter and no meter rent would be charged from such consumers. In future, no interest would be paid on meter security as the same stands converted as the cost of the meter, the order stated.

“In areas, where smart electricity meters are being installed and old meters being replaced by smart meters, their cost may not be recovered from the consumers,” the order added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
