Assam CM Instructed APDCL to fix the faulty smart meters

After strong reaction from the public, Chief Minister of Assam Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma issued statement on the inflated electricity bills of consumers in Assam.

Prepaid & Postpaid meters both must be enquired & resolved.

There has been no hike in power tariff but instances of unreasonable bill amounts have come in from consumers which is due to faulty readings in some of the newly installed smart meters. Instructed @apdclsocial to urgently fix the faulty smart meters and address public grievances
