Muzaffarnagar: Aiming to save 20% electricity, the Muzaffarnagar electricity department started the service of prepaid meters for residents on Friday. Officials claim that meter cannot be tampered by any means. This comes at a time when dozens of locals were recently booked for electricity theft by means of meter tampering.

On Friday, the first prepaid meter was installed in the residence of additional district magistrate. District magistrate Rajeev Sharma, told TOI, “It is a good step by the power corporation. I will ask all government officers residing in government quarters in the district to install prepaid electric meters”.
