BENGALURU: Bangalore Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (Bescom) Managing Director M B Rajesh Gowda on Wednesday said people need not rush to pay electricity bills if DL (Door Lock) is mentioned on them. Speaking to the media here, he said in case of places where meter readers have been unable to access meters like homes of people in quarantine, in sealed down areas or containment zones, average bills are generated mentioning DL on them. In such cases, if consumers are not satisfied with the bills, they can seek clarifications. People have time till June 30 to pay the bill and electricity supply will not be cut off till then, he said.
Additional Chief Secretary (energy department) Mahendra Jain said wherever meter readers were unable to go, average bills have been generated. Consumers can approach zonal Bescom office with current and previous bills along with photographs of meter readings and fresh bills will be generated. They can also call 1912.
