Mangaluru, Sep 6: Energy minister Sunil Kumar clarified that the state government has not cancelled the Amrit Jyoti scheme that was given to SC/ST.
Speaking to media Sunil said, “Beneficiaries of Amrit Jyoti scheme that is implemented by the energy department, get free electricity of 75 units per month. However, information is rife over electronic, print and social media that this scheme is cancelled, which is not true.
“Certain rules are formed to get benefits of this scheme. It is difficult to follow these rules. So the rules are cancelled and not the scheme,” he said.
