Smart Meters: The campaign to replace the old meters installed in the homes of electricity consumers with new prepaid smart meters has begun. After the smart meter is installed, the power supply will be cut off automatically as soon as the recharge tariff ends. Departmental officials said that under the campaign, the corporation will move forward towards uninterrupted power supply, while resources and labour used in recovering the dues will be saved.
Electricity department officials reached Vikas Bhawan under the leadership of Executive Engineer Surya Kumar. After talking to Chief Development Officer Saumya Gururani, the departmental team started the campaign by removing the old meter of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities and installing smart meters with Vedic chanting and worship. Under the campaign, smart meters were installed in all the departments of Vikas Bhawan.
The Executive Engineer said that government offices get electricity dues and other expenses in the budget released every year, so post paid meters have been installed in government offices. Whereas, prepaid meters will be installed in the homes of other consumers. On this occasion, Subdivision Officer Akash Sharma, Junior Engineer Parmanand, Vaibhav Kumar of Gomti Smart Metering, Rakesh Sharma etc. were present.
