30,000 Power Theft Cases in Bengaluru Despite Gruha Jyothi Scheme

In Bengaluru, there have been 30,000 cases of power theft in the last three years, even though there are rules and a scheme called Gruha Jyothi to stop this.

People are stealing electricity by bypassing meters, tampering with them, and using illegal connections.

Some factories and buildings under construction are also involved.

The authorities have collected fines, but the problem continues.

They are planning to increase checks to stop these illegal activities.
