Plaints of LESA overcharging consumers under probe

Plaints of LESA overcharging consumers under probe

Lucknow

Geeta Singh, a resident of Bamrauli Dubagga in Lucknow, had recently applied for power supply to her house constructed on a 500-square-feet land. The energy department gave her an estimate of ₹17.24 lakh. Upon lodging a complaint on the CM portal about the harassment, the estimate was revised to ₹2.24 lakh.

Numerous consumers have accused Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (LESA) of not only overcharging, but also harassing them in the name of releasing power connections. Moreover, residents of undeveloped colonies said they are made to run from pillar to post and given unusually high estimates.
