West Bengal Launches 'Bidyut Prahari' App for Power Theft Reporting

The West Bengal government has launched a new app called 'Bidyut Prahari' to help people report electricity theft and illegal connections.

The app lets users take pictures and share the location of problems.

It also allows people to report damaged electrical equipment and dangerous power lines.

The government says they will take strict action against electricity theft, especially from factories and commercial buildings, but will be kinder to regular households.

People can also give feedback and track their complaints through the app.

The app will be watched all the time to make sure problems are fixed quickly, and the identities of those reporting issues will stay secret.
