Consumers top priority of govt, asserts energy minister

UP power minister Shrikant Sharma on Friday reiterated that consumers were on the top priority of the state government and the department should strive to take all possible steps in addressing their complaints.

Addressing a seminar organised by NTPC power management institute, Sharma said that the distribution companies should try to get Know Your Customer (KYC) done of all power consumers and take their feedback. He also maintained that an uninterrupted power was only possible with the help of consumers. The minister said that managing directors of the distribution companies should ensure that consumers get electricity bills on time.

He reiterated that the discoms should ensure that consumers be provided downloadable bills so that no anomaly is reported.

He also asked officials to ensure tripping free power supply in the National Capital Region (NCR) as well as other districts.
