The Managing Director of Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL), Mussarat Islam, has urged consumers to clear their outstanding balance on account of electricity dues, failing which KPDCL shall be left with no option but to further accelerate its disconnection drives.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Mussarat Islam further said smart meter consumers with arrears are being automatically disconnected if they do not pay their pending power bills.
Expressing serious concern over huge default figures in domestic, commercial and industrial categories, the MD said revenue realized on account of clearance of pending bills shall enable KPDCL to have enough resource availability for power purchase which will be critical for providing reliable supply.—KMS
