The government today said farmers have no reason to worry over amendments to a law on electricity. Some farmers have raised concerns over any plan to change the existing system of power subsidy. "The fears of farmers about the Electricity (Amendment) Bill are unfounded. There is no provision or proposal to change the existing system of power subsidy to farmers in the bill. Farmers will continue to get power subsidy that they are getting now," Power Minister RK Singh told NDTV today, while announcing big reforms in the power sector for consumers.
