Activists protest by burning power bills across Maharashtra
Activists and local leaders of several parties on Monday burnt the copies of electricity bills outside government offices across the state, demanding waiver of power bills for consumers with monthly consumption of less than 300 units.
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Corporation Limited (MSEDCL) has issued combined bills for three months of the lockdown period, which irked the consumers as they are not in a position to pay the bills.
The state government has given an option to pay the bills in three instalments and waiver of 2 per cent of the bill amount if it is paid in a single instalment.
