Deoghar News: In Deoghar, the electricity department talks to the people to pay the electricity bill on time, but the department itself is not showing seriousness in generating the bill. In most of the areas of Deoghar-Jasidih, the problems of the people have increased due to non-generation of electricity bills of the consumers. Consumers are unable to pay the electricity bills of their homes, establishments and business firms. For two-three months, consumers of most areas of the city are facing this problem. Now they are worried about paying huge bills in one go. In such a situation, the consumers here are suffering due to the mistake of the electricity department.
There is a danger of being deprived of 100 units of free electricity scheme
Domestic consumers are in danger of being deprived of the 100 units free electricity scheme by the Jharkhand government. Due to non-preparedness of bills on time, the financial burden on the people is increasing. Consumers not only have to pay huge bills but also have to bear one-time rental charges in one go. In this situation, domestic consumers are being deprived of the benefits of the said scheme.
Worry about disconnection if bill is more than 5000
In case of non-receipt of bill for two-three months, the bill of many consumers can go beyond five thousand rupees at a time. Generally, the electricity department disconnects the connection in case of outstanding bill of more than Rs 5,000. If the bill of some consumers is arrears and after receipt of new bill, the total amount is more than the prescribed criteria, then disconnection should not happen. Along with this, if the bill is high, then people are worried about its payment.
The problem started after non-payment of energy friends
The real reason for the problem started after the departmental billing agency did not make timely payments to Urja Mitras. Billing Agency EMD IE Digitronics Pvt.Ltd. This problem which started after not giving honorarium to Urja Mitra for a long time, continues even today.
