I was having analogue electric meter for past many years, but recenty Electricity department has introduced digital meters to all houses. Since then my electricity bills are running to high, which is out of my control. I tried to watch the meter running, I saw that even if the house is closed for 5-6 hours without any lights on, except for fridge and one 0 volt bulb for the altar, the meter shows consumption of about 4-5 units. This is really surprising. I am a working person, children go for school and paying exhobitant electricity bills are beyond my limits. I sometimes, wonder if Govt. have introduced these digital meters to all??? or is it that they install as per the whims and fancy of the Electricity dept.
I also like to bring to the notice of Electricity department that bills are issued to us once in 3 months or two months. The payment of such bills becomes to much at one time. For eg this month, being December, a very expensive month for us, since Christmas is fast approaching, I got electricity bill of 3 months to paid this month. Can anybody understand our plight??? Who is there for poor people like us to help us?? I have to take leave from work to sort out these problems. Due date, engery consumed from which date to which date is NOT at all visible.
