“Electricity bills of several places of worships of all religions are pending. But there is no proposal before the government to waive off any of those bills,” he said.
“Because of the COVID, we have extended time for the payment of these bills. We have also announced certain concessions. But there is no point of waiving off the bills,” he added while stating that legal action will be taken against those places of worship who have acquired illegal electricity connections in their premises.
