Patiala, April 9

Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) on Friday clarified that the existing power subsidy schemes would continue. The PSPCL was under fire after a news report said the corporation had not sought the regulator’s nod in their ARR filed for the current fiscal. “Power tariff and subsidies as existing on March 31, 2022 to all consumers are being continued as such in the current year from April 1 onwards,” a spokesman of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited said in a press release issued here today. The spokesman said the tariff order for FY 2022-23 has been issued by the State Regulatory Commission vide order dated March 31, 2022. There is no increase in tariff under any of the consumer categories for FY 2022-23, he said.

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).
