BHUBANESWAR: The Central Electricity Supply Utility of Odisha has said it will commence its power disconnection drive from Thursday in a phased manner as the company had a pending arrear of Rs 1,971 crore by end of November last year.
The power distribution company has identified consumers who did not make payments despite several notices in 11,397 villages to disconnect their power connections.
“In the first phase, we will start terminating power supply to the commercial consumers and domestic ones who have withheld the payment deliberately despite having the capability to pay the bills,” CESU’s senior general manager Manoj Singh said.
