Calls grow to withdraw scheme and provide relief to electricity consumers Opposition to the smart meter initiative in Goa has intensified, with activist Sanjay Barde demanding that the project be scrapped entirely instead of being kept on hold. He has also urged the Electricity Department to refund penalty charges allegedly levied on consumers through electricity bills, stating that citizens should not be burdened with what he termed unjust costs. Barde further argued that the scheme is placing additional financial pressure on the public and called for immediate withdrawal of the project along with relief for affected consumers.
