Hyderabad: Prepaid electricity meters are ready to be installed. Officials of TRANSCO informed that the work of installation of electricity meters has been stopped on account of elections in order to escape the wrath of the public.
A decision was taken to install these meters in the entire state but due to the sudden decision of dissolution of Assembly, political leaders requested the government to postpone it since it would have cast negative effect on the people.
The political leaders who stopped installation of the prepaid meters say that if the meters are changed after the elections, there is no problem.
It may be mentioned that the after the installation of these meters, consumers will be able to use electric current to the extent of the amount paid.
When the amounts get exhausted, the electric supply will automatically be disconnected.
It is reported that these prepaid meters have already been handed over to the contractors who will fix them in the houses.
