In a new move to give some relief to electricity consumers, the government has decided to remove the provincial electricity duty from power bills. This duty was an extra amount charged by provinces, and its removal means bills could now be slightly lower for many households and businesses.
This decision has come at a time when people are already struggling with high electricity prices and rising living costs. For months, there have been complaints from the public about heavy bills, especially during the summer season. The removal of this duty is being seen as a small but welcome step toward reducing the burden.
With this change, electricity bills may become a bit easier to manage, especially for low- and middle-income families. It may also help small businesses that have been affected by high utility expenses. Officials say the goal is to give some financial relief and improve public satisfaction.
However, many people feel that more steps are needed to fully solve the issue of expensive electricity. While this is a positive sign, they are also expecting long-term solutions such as better management of power supply, reduction in line losses, and use of cheaper energy sources.
For now, the removal of the provincial duty is a hopeful start, and people are watching closely to see if more helpful decisions will follow.
