SUB: CAUSE OF BRPL’S INFLATED BILLS IS WITHDRAWL OF EARTHING

Dear Sir,

This is in continuation of our earlier letter dt. Jan. 6 regarding INFLATED BILLS RECEIVED BY AREA RESIDENTS during the months July-August and thereafter. In one of my recent meetings with DGM(Comml.) BRPL’s Office at Maya Enclave, Hari Nagar, I was told that due to earthing leakage in the domestic/commercial wiring, the EL LED on electronic meters light up thereby causing running of meters by TEN TIMES than the normal consumption. Another startling fact has come to our notice while checking the earthing leakage problems of area residents. BRPL has disconnected the EARTHING LINE from its service line cable which connects a consumer’s premises to nearest pole.

This decision of BRPL is not only risky for its consumers as without eathing in the household wiring, any leakage can cause ELECTROCUTION TO USERS OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES but it also is resulting EXHORBITANT INCREASE IN POWER CONSUMPTION without any increase in supply & consumption of power. This decision of BRPL is arbitrary, monopolisticand without the consent of the Regulatory Authorities including DERC and Govt. of Delhi. No consumer has ever been informed about the provision of Earthing Leakage indicator in electronic meters and also disconnection of earthing line.

You are requested to take up this matter with BRPL, NDPL as also all Regulatory Bodies of Delhi and Central Government for appropriate and immediate action to redress the common complaint of Delhi’s power consumers.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,


TPS OBEROI, Vice-President
