New commercial meter for my business
- Electricity and Power Supply
- New Connection for Houses
- Paid INR 5,000
Approached the Lingarajapuram Electricity board for a new connection my business, They said i need to approach through an recognized electric contractor, i said i have non. They introduced me to a person who in turn introduced me to a electric contractor, who did some calculations and said I need to pay Rs 12,000/- for the new meter for commercial purpose. Today i was surprised when they just came and gave me the meter and said connection is my responsibility and gave me a bill of Rs 6800/- I was surprised one meter which would barely cost Rs 1000/- is been sold at Rs 6800/- and he said the rest is a bribe for the AE, and some officers to approve the meter. They don t do any kind of connection or wiring they just hand over the meter and say. That's all they do. Its not the money they took its the way they did it no service and openly asking for the bribe. I don t like my India the its run. I always believe India is right but the people running it is wrong.
