Fulfilling its election promises, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi today slashed power tariff by 50 per cent for those households which consume up to 400 units per month.

The government has also decided to provide 20,000 litres of free water to every household.

However, water tariff will be charged if the consumption limit exceeds 20,000 litres.

The free water scheme will come into force from March 1.

Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who made the announcement at a press conference, said consumers getting free water will not be required to pay for sewer charges.
