According to details, the process to replace old meters and make new connections came to a halt due to a shortage of LT smart meters.
Consumers deposited their demand notices for LT smart meters and issued material for the installation of transformers, but the meters are not available.
LESCO further said that no connections have been stopped due to the shortage of LT Smart meters.
The readings of faulty and burnt meters are already shifted to backup meters.
The LESCO Maintenance and Testing (M&T) branch report also revealed that the process to replace the meters has stopped.
The consumers demanded that LESCO authorities take notice of this alarming situation and ensure the provision of smart meters.
