West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company [WBSEDCL] — Delay and harassment by officer for NEW ELECTRIC CONNECTION

Address:

Burdwan, West Bengal

Dear sir,
I would like to introduce myself as an entrepreneur intend to set up
poultry Farm in janardhan sair, Ethora p.s Asansol ( N) P.S . In this
regard i applied for electric connection for commercial purposes via
ref No -[protected] Dated 18.613 to Station Manager, Domani asansol
dist Burdwan but i received letter from them stating that due to non
electrified zone they could not give connection.
Moreover i personally met with Sm and again he told some thing but
asked me to go for new transformer if i want to take line . I
approached divisional Manager and perhaps he was kind enough to talk
to station manager himself and requested him to do work . The
station manager asked me to go turnkey basis for which i give
application on 19/9/13 requesting for re inspection and estimation of
overall expenditure . The station manager assigned one contractor who
did inspection and estimated that 11 poles is required in order to
take connection . unsatisfied with his estimate i again approached DM
who asked acting SM as SM is on leave to do re inspection and he said
12 poles is required and he too asked his contractor to do my work .
I would like to bring in your kind attention that this place is
influenced by broker and contractor and intentionally they are
harassing consumer for their selfish gain .
Further i am astonished how they denied earlier saying it is non
electric zone and ON turnkey work with contractor they are ready to
execute work as i have to bear entire cost of poles and wires etc
which is beyond my reach financially. they are also increasing
numbers of poles to increase work expenditure so that they could gain
good profit. I would like to say that my site hardly 300m away from
road where already connection is given to school . poultry Farm
doesn't require much load as i will using 6 to 10 bulb of 100 watt and
small motor to pump out water.
I would be grateful if you could look into this matter as already 5
month is over and i am still in dark as how much i am likely charge
for connection as they i have not given estimation also.
In my perception their mere object is extract money from me and this
only reason they simply want to ignore or give unreasonable excuse to
avoid my case. In spite of my written application regarding estimation
of overall expenditure they have not given so far any written letter
from department and they are keeping demanding money verbally .
however they have done inspection many times but on that basis also
they should given us estimate and if they want to do re inspection
even then by this time they would have given some concrete picture
about status of my case. Few days back some person called asking me to
visit site for re inspection but didn't turn up . Now even DIVISIONAL
ENGINEER ARE NOT TAKING ANY INITIATIVE TO TAKE SOME ACTION EVEN I AM
MEETING HIM SEVERAL TIMES. ALL THEY WANT IS TO GIVE THIS TASK TO SOME
CONTRACTOR AS PER THEIR WISH.
I hope you will take appropriate step to bail me out this trouble as
i having huge loss because o[censored]nable to start my project .


Thanks & Regards
