Theft of electricity is more common in areas that are hard for DISCOM to monitor. Therefore, why are metres installed in a way that makes them vulnerable to theft? Is there any reason not to install metres in public areas? They may be installed in electric poles as well. Given the abundance of methods available to stop electricity theft, ignoring all of that and then complaining about theft is pointless. In the Modi 3.0 Union Cabinet of India, Haryana's former chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar has been appointed as power minister and Shripad Yesso Naik, of Goa, has been appointed as the Minister of State for Ministries of Power and New & Renewable Energy. These two will have a difficult time reining down power theft.
