Sangeeta explained that she only runs one air conditioner, having disconnected others, yet she received a bill amounting to 60,000 rupees.
She said “I live in a small rented house and use just one fan. I expected a bill of no more than three thousand rupees, but they sent me a 20,000 rupee electricity bill,” she lamented.
Sangeeta emphasized that for accurate billing, she visited the relevant Lesco office. “Whatever bill has come, we have to pay it,” she stated.
She expressed frustration at the exorbitant bills sent to artists, likening them to a death sentence. “It’s as if they want to punish us. We barely get work for six, six months. We question our Lord, where will we pay such high bills from?”
In conclusion, Sangeeta pleaded with electricity providers to show mercy, questioning how a bill of 60,000 rupees could be justified for using only one air conditioner.
