[Resolved]  CESC — Harassment by CESC

Address:

West Bengal

This is in regards to Calcutta state electric supply, CESC. Our consumer id [protected]. I am writing this email on behalf of my parents who are honest and senior citizens of this nation and are being harassed by CESC. Yesterday 26th March 2012 some people from CESC came and sealed our meter saying the meter is in a tilted position and not straight.
All this was done without any intimidation and even my parents not being there on the scene. They just left a notice saying “we want to check the meter”. Is this fair that people just disconnect power without notice or any explanation? My parents are more than 60 years old and we are staying here for a long time and there have never ever been any issues. I am trying to understand as to why this was done and the consumer not informed. To top all this today 27th March 2013 is a holiday in Kolkata and so in this heat my house would be out of power for more than 48 hours and that too without any fault of ours. My mother with the assistance of some of our neighbors had gone to CESC’s office and they asked her to come after holi and pay a fine for reasons unknown to us. We are in distress and seems like without paying the fine we would not get the power connection back.
Please look into this issue as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your kind cooperation.
