To ensure electricity meter readings are accurate, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) has decided to monitor the activity in a mission mode. Apart from terminating at least 76 defaulting meter reading agencies, the power utility has also issued show cause notices to 41 officials for their lacklustre approach in the matter.
Chief Managing Director of MSEDCL Vijay Singhal, who has been reviewing the activity on a regular basis, in a statement on Friday said the services of the agencies, who failed to improve their performance even after giving the opportunity to improve the quality of meter reading, contracted at 76 subdivisions, have been terminated.
