Maharashtra Energy Minister Nitin Raut on Tuesday said the state government was trying to reduce the electricity tariff.

Speaking at a meeting to discuss the electricity dues and arrears of the state power distribution company, Raut directed officials to be sensitive towards the problems of the consumers and resolve their grievances expeditiously.
