Coronavirus: Uttarakhand Govt Grants Exemption in Surcharge on Electricity

The Uttarakhand cabinet has decided to grant an exemption in interest and surcharge on electricity to consumers during the lockdown period.
The state government has decided to waive off 1 per cent surcharge on electricity for 3 months from April to June.
The cabinet minister Madan Kaushik said that this will cost the state 17 crores and 64 lakh.
The state government further said that the clerk category of the district and directorate level in the Health Department will be considered as a cadre.
The ordinance will be brought considering the central government's agricultural Produce, Livestock Contract Farming and Services Act 2018 as the nodal act.
