BHUBANESWAR: After recovery of Rs 72.66 crore arrears from defaulting consumers, the Central Electricity Supply Utility (CESU) has announced 10 days break in its ongoing disconnection drive.
“In the first phase of the special drive to recover pending electricity bills, CESU disconnected power supply to 21,339 consumers and collected an arrear of Rs 72.66 crore. This includes Rs 7.36 crore online payments,” said CESU CEO Arun Bothra.
Announcing 10 days relaxation at a media conference here, Bothra said the second phase disconnection drive will start from February 16. “We are giving another opportunity to the consumers to clear their arrear bills before February 17 to avoid power disconnection,” Bothra said.
