UP energy minister Shrikant Sharma rides bicycle appealing to submit electricity bill on time

The mobile phone has become such a need today that the phone does not remain silent even for a day. Hence, people get their recharge done on time, and the postpaid holders pay the bill on time if the same habit is put for electricity So, what a massive relief to the government and the power generating companies. Yes, the Energy Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shrikant Sharma, has made a similar appeal to the public. He appealed that, like mobiles, electricity bills should also be regularly filled.

The power minister's bicycle continues to inspect electric houses and to alert the defaulters to collect electricity bills by knocking them there. He said that people deposit their mobile bills on time, and mobile is charged only by electricity. Therefore, submit electricity bills regularly, so that all uninterrupted power is available.

On Thursday, the Energy Minister said we would provide cheap electricity to consumers if the electricity bill was given on time. Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation is at a loss of about 90,000 crores. About 25 to 30 percent of the people inside the city are not submitting their bills. At the same time, 75 population in rural areas is not depositing funds. Therefore, we appeal to everyone to pay their share bill on time for cheap and uninterrupted power.

सस्ती और 24 घंटे निर्बाध बिजली देने के लिये AT&C लॉस 15% के नीचे आना जरूरी है। इसके लिये सही बिल-समय पर बिल जारी करने के निर्देश दिये गये हैं और उपभोक्ताओं के दरवाजे पर दस्तक देकर बिल जमा करने की अपील की जा रही है। @UPGovt @BJP4India @BJP4UP pic.twitter.com/SkXd2VJnf9

These steps are necessary for 24-hour electricity

The Energy Minister said that to provide cheap and uninterrupted power round the clock, AT&C loss is required to fall below 15 percent. Instructions have been given to issue bills at the right bill-time and consumers are being knocked at the door and appealed to submit the bill.

He said that now is not the time of darkness in the state. From sunset to sunrise, there is light in the entire state, and we want the cooperation of all consumers to keep this light. If all people cooperate, this system will continue for a long time. We will improve it further. Constant work is being done to ensure that people do not get electricity; there is no tripping. We are doing the work of changing where there are messy wires. How many old pillars and old cables are being replaced in Lucknow city itself.

Door-to-door appeals to collect electricity bill

The Energy Minister said that he is continuously visiting. Therefore, the effort is to have everyone submit their share bill. All people pay mobile bills on time, while mobile is charged only by electricity. Therefore, submit the electricity bill on time also. If everyone will cooperate in this, then the government intends to achieve cheap and uninterrupted power, that goal will be fulfilled.

लखनऊ के बंगला बाजार और आशियाना स्थित बिजली घर का निरीक्षण व जनसंपर्क। सही बिल-समय पर बिल देने और कार्मिकों को साइकिल से पेट्रोलिंग करने के लिए कहा। बकायेदारों की बिजली काटने की बजाये उनके घर में दस्तक देने और बिल भरने के लिए प्रेरित करने के निर्देश दिये।@UPGovt @BJP4India pic.twitter.com/FcRQd6naBR

He said that because of this, we are running a campaign. All our engineers knock at the door of consumers. He noted that the disconnection of electricity connections of defaulters is not a permanent solution. Our job is to 'connect' people. We do not have the word 'disconnection' there. The Energy Minister said that we appeal to the consumers not to come to disconnection, so I am going to the consumers themselves, knocking on the door.
