Ludhiana: Ombudsman pulls up PSPCL over five-year billing dispute

The Punjab Electricity Ombudsman has pulled up Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) for subjecting a Ludhiana-based industrial consumer to nearly five years of avoidable harassment after the corporation continued to bill him even after he formally applied for permanent disconnection of his electricity connection.

The consumer, Sunil Kumar, runs a forging unit in Sherpur under a large supply (LS) electricity connection.
