Andhra Pradesh govt sanctions Rs 25 cr for free power to Ganesh pandals

Andhra Pradesh Energy Minister G Ravi Kumar said the state government has allocated Rs 25 crore to provide free electricity to 15,000 Ganesh pandals across the state.

Kumar said measures are being taken to ensure spiritual programmes proceed without inconvenience during the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations statewide.

“The NDA coalition government has



specially allocated Rs 25 crore to provide free electricity to a total of 15,000 Ganesh pandals,” said Kumar in a TDP press release late on Monday night.
