Bhubaneswar: In bid to arrest pilferage of electricity, Central Electricity Supply Utility (CESU) on Thursday has come up with an innovative approach announcing cash reward for providing information about power theft.
Speaking to media, CESU chief executive officer (CEO) and IG, Arun Bothra said any person informing about power theft in his/her area will receive a cash reward of 10 per cent of the fines to be collected from the erring consumers.

The SHG groups will be engaged in collecting bill and nonpayment activities, he said.
