UP says no to China-made meters after border clash, bans new installations

LUCKNOW : The Uttar Pradesh government has imposed a ban on the installation of new China-made meters by the state power department, days after 20 Indian Army personnel were killed by Chinese troops in a clash in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley, an official said here on Tuesday.

“Installation of Chinese meter has been banned in the state,” an official spokesman of the power department said here.

“The details have been sought about orders of Chinese meters and equipment and also contracts of Chinese items awarded in the past one year,” he said.
