As many as 17.09 lakh electricity bills were issued against which 14.67 lakh consumers have paid their bills up to October this year in after the revision of power tariff in Haryana. Nitin Yadav, Managing Director, UHBVN said that there was around 95 per cent realisation of bills in October this year against the bills raised by UHBVN for all the categories of consumers, including rural and urban.
Karnal has witnessed 97.52 percent realisation of bills, Yamuna Nagar 95.91 per cent, Panipat 95 per cent and Jhajjar saw 89 per cent realisation of bills.
The Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) received overwhelming response and support from its consumers even after the slight increase in the tariff imposed by Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission from April 1, 2015, said Yadav. He added that the remarkable realization of bills against the power supplied to the consumers shows that the people have adopted the habit of paying the electricity bills on time because they are fully aware that the funds are required for ensuring reliable power supply to them and for further development works. The Nigam is making every possible efforts to provide them with strengthened distribution network and sustainable power round the clock, he added.
Meanwhile, the Nigam has also geared up to provide uninterrupted power supply to consumers. In order to improve the power supply this year, one new sub-station of 220 KV, two of 132 KV, four of 66 KV and 14 of 33 KV have been installed.
