The residents of many areas of Punjab Chief Minister Charanjeet Singh Channi’s hometown, Kharar, have been complaining of not receiving the electricity bills for long and apprehend that they will have to pay hefty bills due to delay.
The officials of the power department, however, claim that the delivery of the bills was delayed due to a strike by the employees of the private company which was hired for the work. Arun Verma, a Kharar resident, said that they used to receive their power bills by the 25th or 26th of every month but they have not received bills for the past three months.
