Meter replacement

Reported on August 20, 2011 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #4346

The meter was burnt due to short circuit. I assume that its because of torrential rains the on 15th night. so there was no power supply from then. Tuesday, the 16th, the process began with complaints to BESCOM. The replacement meter was not available at the designates stores. finally on 18th, the meter was procured, inspected & passed by the AE & a lineman came to fix the meter & repair the fuse in the pole. Then we were asked for some money for 'expenses' (karchigay). The AE called & asked for some remuneration. So, we gave Rs200 to the line man & sent Rs500 to the *******
