BSES cautions power consumers

NEW DELHI: Following complaints about impostors posing as BSES officials, the power distribution company has cautioned consumers to guard against such unscrupulous elements.

BSES officials said they had been receiving complaints about gangs of impostors conning customers.

They harass customers on the pretext of booking them for tampered meters or power theft and let them off in return for money. BSES has made it clear that all enforcement related payments -- fines and penalties -- are to be made only at designated BSES offices. Customers can alert the nearest BSES office or inform the police in case they notice anything suspicious.
