Power Theft Cases in Andhra

Power Theft Cases to be Scrapped : HYDERABAD: Energy Minister Mohd. Ali Shabbir has said that all power pilferage cases up to 250 watts will be scrapped and the amounts due to the AP Transco/distribution companies from households and others in these cases totalling Rs 11.79 crore waived. This decision was taken by Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy while reviewing power-related issues here on Saturday. The Minister asked those booked for pilferage to apply for regular power connection under Rajiv Gandhi Grameena Vidyuth Yojana by paying Rs. 125 each. In case of those in urban areas, this expenditure would be borne by the Government. He said these concessions would not apply to those cases involving pilferage of more than 250 watts.

Mr. Shabbir said a ‘get-ready’ directive had been issued to gas-based projects in view of the possibility of Reliance gas being made availab...
