JBVNL to hold Urja Mela in 5 dists to improve outreach

JBVNL, a state-owned power distribution company, is holding an Urja Mela in Ranchi, Khunti, Gumla, and Simdega districts on January 21. This is the first time that JBVNL is organizing an Urja Mela on a large scale in five districts of the state. The Urja Mela will be held at different locations in Ranchi and at other places in the five districts. Consumers will be made aware of the 100 units of free electricity per month that the state government is providing to JBVNL consumers. Consumers who are still unmetered will be encouraged to apply for a meter to be installed on their premises. Consumers can also apply for correction of electricity bills, replacement of faulty burnt out or dead power meters, lodge complaints of low voltage in their area, and even seek replacement of power transformers which have either stopped working or have burnt out.
