Electricity theft won't be tolerated, criminal case will be filed: MSEDCL chief
Chairman and Managing Director of Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited Lokesh Chandra Friday called for intensifying the campaign against electricity theft and said that criminal cases will be filed against the offenders. 'We will not tolerate electricity theft or any kind of manipulation of the electricity meter. It will be registered as a criminal offence and action will be taken,' he warned while speaking at a review meeting of various works at MSEDCL at Prakash Bhavan in Pune. Chandra said that to achieve the goal of reducing electricity losses, it is necessary to launch a strict campaign against electricity theft. He said it was a serious matter that arrears of electricity bills have been increasing for the last few months and also called to speed up the collection of arrears. Along with this, immediate local measures should be taken to increase the rate of accurate bills. He also clarified that billing of each unit should be done. There is an increasing demand for electricity in Western Maharashtra and according to Chandra the delays in new electricity connections when electricity is available as per demand will not be tolerated. He also directed that complaints regarding electricity bills of the consumers whose rooftop solar projects have been implemented under the Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme, should be resolved. Among those present at the meeting were the utility 's directors Sachin Talewar (Operations/Projects), Yogesh Gadkari (Commerce) and Rajendra Pawar (Human Resources), as well as executive directors Paresh Bhagwat and Dinesh Agarwal.
