POWER BILLS: Hesco authorities are reportedly issuing detection power bills to cover losses after their failure to overcome power stealing.
Power theft was continued in the city with the connivance of the Hesco officials and when they had failed to overcome it, they were issuing detection bills to all the consumers without any justification.
Detection bills are issued without installing any test meter and proving consumers involved in power theft.
