Three people in the Khalari police station area are facing charges after allegedly stealing electricity. The Jharkhand Electricity Distribution Limited (JBVNL) took action after finding evidence of electricity theft during inspections.
Electricity Department Takes Action Against Theft
The electricity department is working hard to stop electricity theft. They want to make sure everyone pays their fair share and that the power grid stays strong. This helps keep the lights on for everyone who pays their bills.
How the Theft Was Discovered
During an inspection, authorities found that the individuals were using electricity without going through the meters. This meant they weren’t paying for the power they used. This kind of illegal activity hurts the electricity company financially. It also makes it harder to provide electricity to everyone else.
Consequences of Electricity Theft
The JBVNL is serious about stopping electricity theft. An official stated that they have a “zero tolerance” policy. People caught stealing electricity will face penalties and legal action. The charges filed include illegal use of electricity, which could mean big fines and even jail time.
