What is being seen as the influence of the long arm
of Ambanis has resulted in an amendment that will bring
the cops at the doors of the power thieves.
The Union Cabinet has given its approval for introduction
of the Electricity (Amendment) Bill 2005 in the Parliament.
Following are the amendments in the Electricity Act,
2003:
Central Government will also share the responsibility
of rural electrification. The Amendment will clarify
that the police, at the instance of the appropriate
Government, or appropriate Commission, or authorised
persons, would be able to investigate cognizable offences
under the Act.
This would fulfil the assurance made in the NCMP for
carrying out review of the Electricity Act, 2003.
