The Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Upbhokta Parishad on Sunday launched public awareness campaign using social media platforms to educate state’s electricity consumers about their rights.
It began with the release of short video clips on twitter and Facebook on the New Year informing about how a metered consumer can use the same power connection without having to apply for a temporary connection to begin construction in the same premise.
“Most of the consumers are harassed and extorted because of lack of their rights,” parishad chairman Avdhesh Kumar Verma said adding “We have, therefore decided to regularly make consumers aware of their rights and rules through the social media platforms.
