Lucknow: The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday decided to provide 18 hours of power supply in villages and 20 hours at Tehsil level and in Bundelkhand.
“Till 2018, our aim is to give 24 hours of power to UP,” said Sharma, who is also the UP Power Minister.
The chief minister directed the officials to ensure uninterrupted supply to the villages from 6 in the evening to 6 in the morning so as to help the students prepare for exams.
“It is the dream of BJP chief Amit Shah and the Chief Minister that every house, every poor, and every village get power by 2018,” Sharma said.
The state will also replace transformers in 24 hours in urban areas and 148 hours in rural areas.
