Congress Protests Smart Meter Issues in Indore
In Indore, the Congress party held a protest outside the electricity office.
They are upset because people are being forced to get new smart meters, even if their old ones work fine.
The party leaders say that the electricity department is threatening people and sending higher bills than they should.
They also mentioned that when people complain, nothing is done, and their electricity gets cut off if they don't pay.
The protesters want the electricity company to fix these problems and not punish people unfairly.
They even wrote a letter to the company's boss asking for help.
