Al-Salam.
- I have some agricultural land in Kahirpur District near Ranipur,which belonged to my father.After his death in 2006,I am taking care of the land.
- My father applied for electricity connection from HESCO.
- After all the formalities and precedures he was asked to pay the "Demand Note",which he did.
- The HESCO people gave him the "electric connection" in form of just an electric meter.Nothing else.
- On enquiring they said that HESCO was out of wire and other stuff and our connection will be made as soon as the stuff becomes available.
- Although he did not get the electric connection but the electric bills started coming in every month.Which he paid as long as he lived(till 2006).
- After his death in 2006 I never paid any bill and the arrears are standing at RS 70000 for the 10600 units appearing on my current bill.The actual meter reading is zero.
- Now the HESCO people are asking RS 20000 bribe to show the arrears as "Disputed amount" in my bill.
I do not want to pay any bribe plus i want the connection and I wish to take this matter to the PRESS.
Any suggestions as to what my approach should be in this reagrd will be highly appreciated
Thank You
