FollowIn one month, power was spent for Rs. 3,419 crores! When the owner of the house saw the electrical bill, he became unwell. The old man has been admitted to the hospital, according to his relatives. This is a Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, incident. Priyanka Gupta, a resident of Gwalior's Shiv Vihar Colony, was taken aback when her power bill arrived in July. Electricity worth Rs 3,419 crores has been utilised. Everyone in the family read the bill several times to determine whether or not there was a mistake.
Since then, Priyanka's father-in-law has been unwell and is in the hospital. Sanjeev, Priyanka's husband, attributes his father's sickness to an incorrect power bill. As this word spreads, the Madhya Pradesh Madhya Kshetra Power Distribution Company (MPMKVVC) has been under fire.
Sanjeev Kankane, Priyanka Gupta's husband, said his father became unwell after seeing the large amount on the July power bill for residential consumption. According to him, the bill was cross-verified through the Madhya Pradesh Madhya Kshetra Vidyut Vitran Company (MPMKVVC) site. According to Sanjeev Kankane, the bill was eventually adjusted by the state electricity utility.
