In a recent operation in Nagla Jahanu village, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, five men were booked for power theft after officials discovered they were illegally drawing a total of 18.28 kW of electricity. The suspects, identified as Fakhruddin, Rukmuddin, Asif, Arif, and Ismail, were found to have unauthorized connections at their premises. This inspection was part of a broader initiative by the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) and Purvanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) aimed at addressing the significant issue of electricity theft in the region. Ajay Kumar Yadav, the assistant engineer who led the inspection, noted that such violations not only result in revenue losses but also destabilize the power supply system. A case has been filed against the accused under Section 135 of the Electricity Act 2003 at the anti-power theft police station in Noida. Authorities plan to intensify enforcement efforts in high-loss areas to ensure all consumers use authorized connections and metered supply.
