BESCOM has made arrangements to provide quick relief to the public for restoring power supply.

New connections

BESCOM has received complaints from people saying that in some of its O&M sub-divisions, officials were refusing to register applications for new power connections.

Apparently, this was being done under the pretext that applications were to be registered through licensed electrical contractors only.

In this connection, BESCOM has said that for the convenience of its customers, applications for various purposes have been made available in all its sub-divisions for all types of LT connections and in the division offices for all types of HT connections.

Applications are also available on its website, www.bescom.org.

The release says that instructions have been issued to field officers to accept applications submitted by customers directly. If any official did not register the applications, it might be brought to the notice of the BESCOM vigilance on Ph: 22381838 (Superintendent of Police-office) and 9480625877; 9448094801 (Deputy Superintendent of Police); and 9448094802 (Executive Engineer, Vigilance).
