The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) will link the mobile numbers of each power consumer with the billing system and connections will be snapped only after the defaulters are sent an SMS alert.
Energy Minister AK Sharma said here on Tuesday that the ongoing work to link the mobile phone numbers of consumers with the billing system would benefit around 3 crore people across the state.
Presiding over a review meeting of UPPCL, the minister asked the power engineers to ensure uninterrupted power supply to all religious places during the festival season. He also asked the officials to gear up for the summer season, which has already commenced.
