The government will now increase the subsidy given on the agriculture connections to fill the gap.
“The power tariff was revised in September last year but the hike will not be effective for the farmers and the government’s decision is also effective from September. If the farmers have paid bills, the difference amount will be adjusted in next bill,” he said.
