Electricity

This section on Electricity is managed by Mr Sandeep N. Ohri . Mr. Ohri runs a small-scale unit in the Flexible Packaging industry.
Ever since he received a revised tariff bill from REL, in October 2006, he has been studying and fighting for consumers rights on the Electricity issue.

He has represented the consumers at MERC's Public Hearings for BEST tariff hike (was successful in cancelling the hike of Rs. 700 cr) , and at the Apellate Tribunal for Electricity Hearing for REL's proposal to charge us an extra Rs 1000+ cr (next date Feb 20).

He moderates the "bijlee" Group and the TPS PTA Group at Yahoogroups.
