All Electricity consumers in Haryana being deceived by DISCOMs in violation of HERC regulations

The DISCOMs (DHBVN/UHBVN) in Haryana have been found violating the regulations mandated by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission as a result of which all the electricity consumers in Haryana have been deceived by such violations. These violations have been apparently unnoticed due to a lack of awareness about rules and regulations. It might have already crossed Rs. 1,200 crores and shall continue annually estimated at Rs. 30 crores per year assuming every year one lakh consumers being added across the State of Haryana.

As per regulations so mandated by HERC, the charges for service cable required from pole feeder cable to the point of supply at consumers premises are included in the service connection fee being charged by the Discom from the consumer. The consumer is ignorant about such regulations and hence the consumer is being misguided in providing the cable from their side. The DISCOMs with their intent of fraudulent means have intentionally omitted HERC regulations on their website so that the consumers are not aware. A detailed email has been sent to the stakeholders for appropriate action and the detailed document is available on the petitioner blog. While the consumers are being deceived all across Haryana, there could be possibility of fraud even in their purchases, the impact of which falls on the consumers. DHBVN has even gone to the extent of an installation report being fakely generated without even providing an electrical connection to the consumer who belled the cat. After the issue brought on social media, the connection was provided in a hurry with arrogance and can be seen in the photo.
