After a prolonged delay, the UT Administration has set a target to complete the pilot project of installation of smart electricity meters in the city by early next year.
The project was allotted to government-owned Regional Electricity Corporation (REC) in 2016. So far, nearly 50 per cent of the work could be completed.
Irked over the slow pace of work, UT Adviser Dharam Pal today took up the issue in a review meeting on the status of smart metering with the Secretary, Ministry of Power.
