At the behest of the central government, the power office is carrying out a prepaid smart meter across the state. And they have to go to different places in the village. Ever fear that the electricity bill will be more on smart meters, many people are reluctant to put smart meters in fear that the electricity will go away in the middle of the night. But all these rumors were claimed by Bapaditya Ghosh, divisional engineer of the Barasat Division of the power office. He told a private media.
Bappadityababu said a lot of confusion is being spread over smart meters. With which the real is not added. There is no possibility of electricity bills to be higher in smart meters. Customers can use electricity in smart meters at the present price. Just before, where the 6 -month bills reach the customers together, customers will now get a statement online or app every month. Dividing three months into account by three will match one month.
But if the recharge really runs out, the power connection can stop at midnight? Bappadityababu said, ‘There is no possibility of disconnecting electricity at midnight. All customers will be able to use arrears up to 5 rupees even after the recharge is gone. After that the electricity will be disconnected. However, even if the arrears have passed, the electricity will not be disconnected on Saturday, Sunday or any holiday. No line will be cut from 3pm to 5pm the next day. Will only cut the line at office time. Whatever you realize that the line has been cut for the arrears. If you go to the line office online, you will have to return to your home in a moment. Now someone will go and add the line to them. ‘
