Due to heavy workload, meter readers were just doing the formality in the name of reading. The most problem was found in Lalganj division. To solve this problem, meter readers in villages will now visit consumers’ homes every two months. They will prepare bills after taking readings. This means that now consumers will pay bills for two months together. The division will be divided into four parts. This will be done in a phased manner.

There are a total of 375 meter readers in the district. There are 75 meter readers in Lalganj. After Lalganj division, this system will soon be started in the rural areas of Raniganj, Kunda and Sadar divisions. Superintending Engineer Satyapal said that now this initiative will be taken in other divisions too, so that the billing system can be improved.
