He said the chemical coating over the electric cable would avoid such power thefts. He further said the attacks on the raiding staff of HVPN had been reported several times by the consumers involved in thefts. The senior officials of the HVPN told that after getting clearance from the head office, the department would start work, which would bring in a lot of revenue due to curb over power thefts. He said experiments conducted at Matehri Jattan village had projected satisfactory results. Illegal connections are the main cause of concern for both the power department and the consumers paying bills regularly, but still the problem was yet to be tackled properly. Earlier, the Vigilance Cell of the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam (HVPN) had announced to eliminate all ‘kundi’ connections in the state within six months, this claim had not found favour even among the employees’ body of the department, which claimed that the incidents of power theft could not be contained till the power rates were brought down in the state. Addressing a meeting of officials of the department, he claimed that all techniques would be used to stop power theft and consumers would not only be motivated to give up illegal means but also would be made aware of the misuse of electricity, the sources added.
