As the public is aware, Chamundeshwari Electric Supply Company (CESC) is replacing ordinary electric meters to digital electric meters all over the city. This is being done under the Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme of the Central Government. The work is nearly complete and in the next phase, CESC will the be shifting meters from the inside of customer premises to the outside. Nearly 50% of the customers have their meters inside their premises and it is difficult for the meter readers to access them. The work of shifting will be probably given to private parties.
Since the work of shifting meters is funded by RAPDRP, the customers will not have to pay anything for the work. There were complaints that the private parties in charge of replacing meters were collecting money, which is illegal. The same thing may happen in shifting the meters also. The customers should not pay any money for the work.
