LESA searches for 1.36 lakh missing consumers
The Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (LESA) is unable to find around 1.36 lakh consumers, who have to pay ₹1,800 crore to LESA.
In order to recover dues the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation recently launched the one time solution (OTS) scheme to give exemption in surcharge to defaulters to recover the dues. After the start of the scheme, LESA prepared a list of defaulters at the division level in the capital.
According to a senior LESA official more than four lakh defaulters were on the list, but many of them were not traceable. Most of them are from areas like the Residency, Aminabad, Hussainganj, Aishbagh, Talkatora, Alambagh, Chowk, Chaupatia and Thakurganj.
