“BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) will provide ‘Tatkal’ electricity connections for pujas, pandals, Ramlilas and marriages. Getting them is not only hassle-free. It is also cheaper, safer, noise and pollution-free,” a BSES statement said. “Under the innovative scheme, a consumer will be able to get a temporary connection the same day of applying and completing the requisite commercial formalities. Normally, it can take up to seven days for a temporary connection.”
