The Jharkhand government has decided to waive Rs 3,584 crore in power dues for 39.44 lakh consumers under the 200-unit free electricity scheme. This decision, made during a cabinet meeting led by Chief Minister Hemant Soren, aims to ease financial burdens. Other measures include an ex gratia payment and government jobs for Agniveer soldiers' families, and extended remuneration for anganwadi workers.
