“I have instructed them to look into whether there are any problems or not, and if there is any problem, to solve it by consulting with the consumers and maintaining a cordial relationship. During floods and Durga Puja, officials worked tirelessly. I have also asked them that whenever they receive any complaint, they should take it up immediately and reach the spot as soon as possible to solve the problem, whatever the problem might be. I have spoken with all the officials and officials from various levels. Yesterday, we also held a meeting on a series of matters, including PWD, Agartala Smart City and TSECL.

I was there, officials from TSECL were there, Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy was there, and the Chief Secretary, Finance Secretary and Power Secretary were also there,” he said.
He informed that recently the Tripura Electricity Regulatory Commission increased the fixed charge, Fuel Purchase Power and Power Adjustment, and energy charge, which was not increased by the state government.
“They are an autonomous body, and every year, whenever they try to hike something, they give advertisements and then seek suggestions before taking decisions. TSECL is not responsible for increasing or decreasing the electricity bill. However, we have discussed all the matters and problems in detail, and the government would take a decision. A primary meeting was held, and tomorrow the official meeting will be held. The government is working to solve the problems, and we can’t be silent spectators. The government will do something to solve the problems.
