Bangalore, 13/6: Several citizens who received their electricity bill this month were shocked to notice a significant increase in the tariff.
While many complained about a rise of almost 50 per cent, a few mentioned that their bills had nearly doubled.
“Last month, we paid around Rs 700, but this month, we have been billed Rs 1,300. We are a middle-class household and manage our finances carefully. It’s extremely challenging to cope with such a drastic increase,” said Abhay Mehra, a resident of Sarjapur.
In a statement, Bescom defended the increase saying that it was part of the approved revision by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC), and they were collecting arrears.
