UP: Door-to-door outreach on smart meters to begin this week

Acting on directions from chief minister Yogi Adityanath, the Uttar Pradesh government will launch a seven-day door-to-door campaign this week to address growing complaints over smart prepaid electricity meters, marking a shift to direct consumer engagement, officials said.

The initiative comes amid continued consumer concerns over issues such as negative balances, sudden disconnections and alleged billing discrepancies.
