Nagpur. Consumers are upset due to the poor functioning of Mahavitaran officials. Due to the arbitrariness of the electricity officials, many consumers are preparing to approach the court. One such case has come to light in Shantinagar area. He was harassed even though the meter of Dnyaneshwar Gokhe customer number 410011271603 here was fully recovered. Electricity workers used to take regular meter readings every month and kept sending bills of 75 units continuously for 6 months by stating ‘meter faulty and current reading not available’ in every bill. But suddenly from July 2021, continuously increasing the bill of 150 units from 75 units till December 2021.
no action on complaint
Unemployed due to the lockdown in the Corona epidemic, this family continued to pay the average unit bill till July 2021, fearing that the electricity connection would be cut and also complained to the Mahavitaran officials regarding the fault of the current meter and the increased unit bill. But his complaint was not heeded. They allege that the employees of Mahavitaran kept pressurizing the old meter to install a new meter and pay the entire bill, calling the old meter defective and faulty. Soon the bill for the average reading for the entire year crossed Rs 7,334.
Old meters were taken as faulty
Gokhe says that despite repeated requests to the employees of Mahavitaran to rectify the bill, instead of rectifying the bill, in his absence, the electricians brought the police along and forcibly entered the house by breaking the lock of the meter box to remove the old one. After installing a new meter, keep walking. He said that the bill for one month of the new electricity meter has come, according to which the first bill of one month from 19.12.2021 to 19.1.2022, 43 units and the included unit 10, together with total 53 units, have sent a bill of Rs 483 90 paise.
The reading of the new meter is also the same
Gokhe says that the old meter of Mahavitaran was faulty, so how did the new meter installed now become correct, while the readings of both the meters are same. He said that for the last one year, the Mahavitaran officials had made the life of the entire family haram by pressurizing them to change the meter. Mahavitaran has sent a total bill of Rs 7820 by adding Rs 7334.40 to the new bill and adding Rs 7334.40 to the new bill by not making any correction in the huge bills of the average unit sent for the last one year.
