“A current account £90 384 reflects the use of electricity within two months and includes £32 287 in arrears, ”said the Board of Directors on Tuesday, April 8).
“It is misleading to indicate that £90 384 Bill is in one month. It includes unpaid fees and late payment surcharges from previous billing cycles, ”said Sandeep Kumar, CEO of HPSEBL.
Kumar also provided details about the consumption formula. He said that the Ranaut’s house has a load of 94.82 kilowatts “” which is 1500 percent higher than the standard household’s power load “.

HIMACHAL CMREACTS
The Kanut’s statement quickly drew a response from the Himachal Pradesh congress unit, which called it “unfair” and “irresponsible”.
The leader of the congress Suleman Mohd Khan said NDTV“This is unfair by Kangana. He has a serious responsibility. This statement has been made for cheap publicity. She should write to the officials concerned.”
Meanwhile, Main Minister Himachal Pradesh Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said, “… I don’t take her statement seriously. He still gives these kinds of statements.”
Narnesh Chauhan, a media advisor for Himachal Pradesh CM Sukhvinder Sukhu, also said that such remarks Kangana Ranaut are aimed at attracting the attention of the media and if the problem actually occurs, consulting with electric council officials should be solved.
“One can simply verify old records of consumption, use of unit units and valid rates rather than making general accusations … Calling government” robbers “can be a regular thing, but it is not in accordance with constructive political discourse …
