1.3 lakh customers drop out of Gruhajyoti scheme; 1.2 lakh in BESCOM area refuse to provide documents

Approximately 1.3 lakh customers across the state have decided to exit the 'Gruhajyoti' scheme, which provides free electricity up to 200 units. Among these, 1.2 lakh customers in the BESCOM area have reportedly refused to provide documents during the recent door-to-door verification campaign. The refusal is primarily due to privacy concerns regarding the misuse of personal information, especially among residents of large apartments.
