✦AI Summary
The Gruha Jyothi verification process in Karnataka is facing significant delays due to server instability and a shortage of meter readers. Officials report that only a fraction of the target beneficiaries have been verified, making the August 31 deadline appear increasingly unattainable.
With rampant server issues and a fewer number of meter readers on job, the Gruha Jyothi door-to-door verification has slowed down. Launched on July 1, 2026, the Energy Department has been able to verify only around 45 lakh beneficiaries, of the estimated 1.65 crore beneficiaries.
