A struggle that lasted 2 years to get Individual electric metres installed

Reported on March 15, 2011 from Kanpur , Uttar Pradesh  ι Report #26317

I am a flat owner in a multi storied residential building in the Vishnupuri , kanpur, ********** Pradesh.
Personally I feel , ********** Pradesh is the most corrupt and wrong place to be in, in India during the last decade or more.
I own a flat on the 1st floor of ********** VAtika, Vishnupuri> I bought this flat in 2004-5. Apparently Kesco, the Electricity supply company had a law that only one electric meter for every plot of land will be installed, even if the plot may be a housing Co-operative with many house owners.
A few years later the law changed back to individual flat owners should have their own meters.
Now, since 2007, we started this process to get individual metrs and we had to literally run 100 of times to the KESCO Offices to get this simple process done.
Over this period we paid Rs 80000 per flat to various people at different levels .
We are 5 flat owners who were victimised . The work was done finally , only last *******
