Power bill shocker for Bathinda residents

Residents of the district are up in arms after having allegedly received inflated electricity bills from the Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL). With many bills running into lakhs, consumers claimed these were way higher than the power units consumed by their households.

Gurmeet Kaur, one of the complainants who hails from a poor family in the Goniana block, alleged that she had got a bill of Rs 1.71 lakh.
