The Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation has directed officials to start double metering heavy subscribers, including ice factories and cold storage to check power theft.
 
This will help in keeping a tab on chances of tampering of metres to minimise power theft in big establishments, Corporation Chairman Ashok Kumar Khurana said in a release issued yesterday.
 
He said the consumption by ice factories and cold storage units had increased from the corresponding period last year.
 
"A double-metering initiative in the Saharanpur area had produced positive results," he said.
