In the meeting, Atishi instructed the officials of the Power Department and Revenue Departments to work in tandem to ensure that the victims of the 1984 Sikh riots continue to get the benefit of electricity subsidy without any hassle.
She said that if due to some reason, the benefits of the scheme do not reach the beneficiaries, then bills up to 400 units should be waived between the certification of the beneficiaries in the scheme from the notification of the scheme in 2018.
