CHANDIGARH, SEPT 28
In order to dissuade kundi
connections, the Haryana Power Distribution Corporations (UHBVN and DHBVN)
would hold open darbars in villages and on the spot domestic category
connections would be released to the applicants. The darbars will be held in
the month of October onwards in the State for which the areas were being
identified by the field officers. At least two darbars will be held in each
operation sub division in a month which would also enable staff to have better
inter-action with the consumers. The results of such darbars recently held in
some villages under the command area of UHBVN were encouraging.
It
was stated by Chairman and Managing Director of the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran
Nigam and the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, Devender Singh here today.
Emphasizing need of holding open darbars, he said the number of households was much more in the
villages as compared to electricity consumers. For providing connections the
test reports submitted by the applicants would be processed immediately, which
was mandatory to release new connections.
He said the losses in rural sector were about
65 per cent, which was a cause for concern. Release of new connections will
help minimize losses. The DISCOMS intend to provide better services to the
consumers and the public representatives should come forward for mass
awakening. It was desired from the consumers that they do not indulge in
pilferage of power and make timely payment of their bills so that better
services are made available.
He
said that the distribution transformers of 100 kva and 200 kva capacity were
being arranged on priority basis and there will be no shortage of transformers
in the State after a week. It has been planned to implement development
programs in phased manner and the officers have been directed to prepare the
plan for one month, three months and six months to avoid inconvenience to
consumers.
He
appealed consumers to avail the benefit of ongoing electricity bills waiver
scheme, voluntary disclosure of load scheme and theft informer scheme. He
further stated that the informers would be rewarded under the theft informer
scheme and their identity would not be disclosed.
