NOIDA: The Pashchimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) has recovered over ₹3.64 crore from 1,778 consumers in its recently launched disconnection drive in the Gautam Budh Nagar district. The fortnight-long drive, which started on October 13, saw the power supply of more than 5,000 households disconnected as part of the process to recover dues.
