News2News.in News. jhajjar By sending huge wrong bills to consumers, the employees of the Electricity Corporation office are forcing them to go to the ministry’s office. These energy company employee shocks can be hard on any weak-hearted consumer.
Something similar happened to Vinod’s son Jagdish, a resident of the village of Kasni. Where he was previously given a bill of Rs 58,390 for domestic connection, he is now visiting the office to have the bill of Rs 52,078 repaired. Victim Vinod said he supports his family on daily wages. In order to correct the amount of more than 58,000 rupees in the last bill, he had to hand in his daily wages and come to the office several times. His last appointment was January 2, 2023. When his bill was corrected after the investigation, he was ordered to pay an amount of Rs.714. After he had repaired the bill, he got the amount transferred.

The officials sitting there said that his bill was actually about one lakh ten thousand rupees, which was not enough until later about fifty-two thousand rupees were sent.
To fix the bill, the reading must be written by the affected lineman
