Amid protests, UPPCL covers over 50% employee houses in meter installation
Despite intensifying protests by power employees over what unions describe as a dilution of long-standing service benefits, the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has crossed the halfway mark in installing prepaid smart meters at employees’ residences under the LMV-10 category.
The latest official data shows 30,247 meters have been installed against 58,462 employee and pensioner connections, taking overall coverage to 51.74%, even as the utility has been forced to revise deadlines amid resistance on the ground.
