Sharma said that the five executive engineers viz Vinay Pratap Singh, Sunil Singh, Yogesh Aathnere, DK Tiwari and Gajendra Kumar also had significant contributions in earning revenue collection.
The amount of electricity sold in the city and the amount of revenue that has been collected is more than last year. “Compared to last year, the cash amount of 25 paise more has been received on one unit.
