Ibe requsting

Dear sir,

we were 12 families residing in sai kripa chawl no.6, near nandivli church, deslepada, dombivli East. on 20.09.10 morning at 11 AM the power in all our locality went off and not returned back till evening. so we called MSEB, midc division to file a complaint on that. we were told to give a written complaint and that too only on next day morning (21st). after spending a night without power we gave complaint on 21st and they came and restored the power. but the MSEB persons who came to us told us to collect 1500rs from all the 12 families.means 150 per family as they have to change the wire coming from the main pole to all of our residence. they say wire get spoiled so the power will be no longer for more days. the person came from MSEB know well of our locality and he know well that all were illiterate.my question is why the consumer have to bear the charges of the connections coming out of the residence, that too from the main pole. i know sure he is asking for bribe. i am having that persons contact details and all. In that 1500rs, he says 1300rs for wire and 200rs as labour. kindly teach us what to do.

on behalf of 12 families and one of the affected,
