Citizens and traders are now in big trouble after the increase in security deposit rates by Multan Electric Power Company (Mepco) to get a new connection. The Mepco authority has increased the security deposit rates from Rs 400 to Rs 1800 for the domestic connection whereas the security deposit for the commercial connection has been increased from Rs 700 to Rs 6000.
Citizens are now in big trouble because now they have to spend Rs 5000 to get a new connection while earlier they have to pay only Rs 3400. The other thing which has further created problem is that those customers who had already submitted the demand notice of Rs 3400 from September 5 to October 31 the authority has sent them another demand notice to submit Rs 1400 more to get a new connection.
Mepco has also taken back the facility to provide 40 meters free wire for the connection. Now the Mepco authority will provide only 15 meters wire and for the rest of the wire required, customers will have to pay Rs 100 per meter more.
