Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (LESA) will start a special drive to detect slow meters in the state capital.
This has been decided after two persons were caught by LESA engineers while slowing down smart meters in Indira Nagar a few days back.
Both accused, identified as Prashant Gupta and Deepak Maurya, had revealed some former contractual or casual LESA employees, were also involved in this activity to slow down electricity meters.
“Since many gangs involved in this exercise are former LESA people, they have full knowledge of LESA’s work culture,” a LESA official said.
